Definitely this piece is not the style of Hinojosa lace.
As I privately commented to Devon, Hinojosa is a continuous tape lace without
grounds nor fillings between tapes.
The Saxony piece is a part tape lace worked with clothstitch. There are drawn
some spaces between tapes that are filled with
The other vermicelli lace not mentioned, which has no holes and where the
cloth stitch goes right to the edges is hinohosa from Spain.
Just another thought to be put in the mix.

Personally, I think the size is quite comparable to late 19th century
handkerchiefs which is what it is supposed to be. Also, I join with Lyn in
feeling that there isnât any religious theme. In fact, the lace is a tape
lace that looks almost like Hinjosa in that there are no brides or spaces
I also would think it's a chalice cloth. It certainly strikes me as being one.

Ooops! I didn't scroll down. The item is listed at 15", so the fabric is
about 7" and the lace 3" wide. That is definitely not antique
There were tape laces being made in Germany as well as other eastern European
countries. I couldn't see the picture well enough to take a guess as to
origin.
However -- it does look like an item made for church use -- namely, to cover
the chalice or the 'bread' when not being used. The cloth
