Moving to lace, since there are people here who are more knowledgeable
than I am, but who do not subscribe to lace-chat.

Hi I am usually a lurker, but would like to know if this item is a
type of
honiton lace, or as I suspact something like Branscombe that has
fillings put
into a machine made tape.
Item no 120321291726.
This seller has other items for sale that are also described as
Honiton.

You're right; it's not Honiton but something more along the lines of
Branscombe or Battenberg. Not only the outlining taps are pre-made
(machine) but the leaves are too.
However. Please note that the pattern itself bears a -- preprinted --
title "Honiton Point". And there lies the difference: not Honiton, but
Honiton *Point*. I've seen different names attached, at different
times, to the laces made with pre-made tapes (and other elments, such
as leaves, "pearls", etc), which use a needle (point) in their
construction. Honiton Point is one of them (Renaissance Lace seems to
be another)
