Re: [lace] ebay tatted coasters
Having been away for a couple of days, I'm a bit late picking up on some of these threads but... The change of description is there, but as someone else said, I'm inclined to think these are modern, commercial Chinese or whatever, not Granny-made. What did amuse me however is if you scroll to below the change of description there is a bid retraction from Brenda saying If these are bobbinlace I would rather not purchase them. Is that a problem? No problem as far as the seller is concerned but I do wonder about Brenda who apparently only collects tatting but then can't see the difference between it and bobbin lace. Hi-ho, it's the peculiarities of life that make it so interesting.

Re: [lace] ebay tatted coasters
Sue, as a tatter I am not offended just frustrated that most people can't recognize the differences between the laces. So many times, at demos, folks will confuse tatting with crochet or bobbin lace. I have had it also confused with drop spindle spinning (amazingly enough)! So no offense. I am glad the seller did correct her statements.

Re: [lace] ebay tatted coasters
Sorry - that sounds offensive to tatters. It wasn't meant to read like that - just that the piece on EBay is clearly not tatting and it would be impossible to produce those results (eg half stitch diamonds) in tatting Sue Absolutely unbelievable tatting :). I'd like to see a tatter produce work like that! Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At 03:33 PM 5/16/2005, you wrote: I did send a note to the seller explaining the facts. This corrected information may or may not appear on the listing. Changes can be made only before the first bid is received. Also, some sellers will not change a listing once they have put it in. Maybe it costs more to change it. My thought when I read that the Grandmother had made this tatting was whether or not she had lived in China. This looks much like doilies that came out of China in the past. I'm betting her Grandmother purchased these, just like my Grandmother purchased some similar ones many years ago. You could make an interesting collection of things listed as 'tatting' on eBay.

Re: [lace] ebay tatted coasters
I surely do agree with Alice. I, in fact, saw the same, or similar, coasters sold in sets of 4 several years ago. I don't recall the cost, but they were clearly marked Made in China. I did buy an oval piece 5 x 8 inches for a nominal price, which I don't recall but was probably about $5, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. They were sold at Kirklands (a chain which deals in gift/home decor/imports/unusual stuff) located in the local mega-mall.

RE: [lace] ebay tatted coasters
I just had a look at the coasters. The seller has changed her description: Several of you have written these doilies/coasters are handmade bobbin lace. A different stitch technique than tatting. Everyone has been so kind to help out here~ (Especially Patty - a lacemaker and someone who studies the history of lace) Although these are handmade, tatting is worked differently than bobbin lace. I wrote my description and title based on information the estate owner from whom I purchased this set gave me. She said her grandmother had tatted these many years ago. At any rate, they are vintage, dainty, and beautifully stitched. A nice addition for any collector. Hope this helps with any bidding decisions.
