Lovely Handmade Reticella Needle Lace Doily cigarette box though mostly notI'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.
