Offered by: Ebay seller heartnsoul1, NEW ENGLAND, United States
Comments: A short fragment, very dense pattern. What really attracts me are the unusual raised flowers in the upper half – not roses. Nice work. Wish there were more.

Size: 4.5″ x 47″
Starting price: $8.00
Auction ends: Apr 06, 2011 16:43:33 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller vintageblessings, Star, ID 83669, United States
Comments: This piece has several condition issues, but I think it is quite interesting. A Belgian Point de Gaze type, no raised work. The work itself is fairly plain, no interesting fillings. Instead it relies on a closely packed design with a very narrow repeat, and with NO mesh ground (makes it almost look like Duchesse). Motifs are held together with some kind of spiderweb ring – can’t tell exactly what it is from the photo. Belgian needlelace continues to surprise me with pieces like this.
Sold for $76.00, 6 bidders.

Size: 4″ wide, 2-1/4″ high.
Starting price: $5.99

Offered by: Ebay seller thecharmedcottage, WESTERN NEW YORK, United States
Comments: Yet another Point de Gaze butterfly, in good condition. We’ve had quite a run on these lately. Back in 1978 I knew one of the last Belgian lacemakers formally trained in Point de Gaze who made these for $5.00 each (see photo of Mme Thienpondt next to the Ebay butterfly taken during my visit). She passed away in 1979.

Size: 0.45 x 1.35 meters
Starting price: 8,000.00 EUR
Auction ends: Apr 09, 2011 07:41:44 PDT
Offered by: Ebay seller p.tabanelli, roma, RM, Italy
Comments: One might think that for the price they are asking the seller would put up more photos. Listing states it was purchased ~80 years ago in a store in Florence, and that it has a grey color (could just be age). It is a good example of figural Northern Italian bobbinlace that one often sees in the Cantú area. Figures seem to be mostly birds, and maybe the heraldic split-tail mermaid. Looks in very good condition. Note seller has zero feedback.
Did not sell. Relisted.
