A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: The symmetry and perfection in this small doily tell the story of an art and crochet lover who patiently and very carefully stitched this delicate little piece. I may have enhanced a small lamp or perhaps a small vase on even a small porcelain figurine as it was the costume years ago.

Condition

Good
