Clay,
it's for sure a simple but handmade Point Ground Lace. This pattern we
find on several places so it's very dificult to say from which place.

Thanks to all of you who answered my question. I haven't taken the time to
learn more about Ipswich. Now I know something of what it *isn't*... should
probably try to learn more about what it is. ; )

I currently reside well never mind I'll get on with my 'Ipswich Lace' and
dream on..

Definitely hand made point ground lace, but without a powerful
magnifier and the OIDFA PG study book it's impossible to to be any more
precise because it's fairly simple pattern so likely to have been
made/made in more than one of the point ground areas.

To me this lace has the characteristics of a very simple Chantilly -
couldn't that be a Tulle ground? The motifs are outlined in gimp and look
like half stitch (not linen) and there are picots on the edge - all
essential to Chantilly. Chantilly was made by machine as early as the
1870's.
