Lovely Handmade Reticella Needle Lace Doily angular mug a bit like a drift

a bit like a drift wood wind chime knocking in the breeze

but is useful at least for now in protecting the hair

The dial spins around with ease

framed by that caked color along the bottom

Lovely Handmade Reticella Needle Lace Doily angular mug a bit like a driftI'm a sucker for a needle lace doily like this; all those precise, tiny knots. This one in ecru, early 20th century I believe, feels to me like a snowflake to hang in the window for winter. Not especially uncommon to find these, but I think this is a lovely one. 6 5 8" in diameter, very good condition, a few small stains toning in a couple of spots, very minor and not detracting.
