Thanks for the clarification Karen!  From the online description it wasn’t
clear that the lace sample is simply resting on an Ipswich pillow.  So—even
if this lace was made in Ipswich, it is not Ipswich lace because it doesn’t
have the correct characteristics!  This is where it would be instructive to
see two samples side by side—real Ipswich & a highly similar point ground
example.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
