Collection of Burano Patterns in Progress

Collected by Louise Senécal (Canada) on a trip to Burano.
2 doilies x 6.5" diameter
1 doily x 7.0" diameter
1 collar: inside 16" outside 28", irregular edge, largest part 3"
Backing cloths wrinkled, glassine a little worn, but overall very good.

Individual Burano patterns on beige paper with glassine, machine-sewn trace as expected. Collar labeled Campione (Sample) 114 R2

I bought them in 2004 from an Italian lacemaker demonstrating at Burano island, nearby the lace museum. The smaller dolies and the collar have codes on them, they might have been used as projects for lacemaker student.
