Auction Description

Vintage 1940s 1950s Crochet Doily: 12" colbalt blue doily with both star and pineapples

NOTE: second items ship FREE! and look for the latest sale (see banner)

Won a huge box of doilies at a recent auction, and wow are there the wonderful bright colors here. Also have a few of the hard to find ruffled doilies that were so popular in the 1940s and 1950s.

This is a beautiful medium sized crochet doily, 12" with a flower center, plus a star plus double pineapples.

Cotton thread is heavy so this is a nice substantial doily.

Design: 1" flower in center and a six armed star too. Each point has a netted triangles nestled next to it. Then, and kind of unusual, double pineapples, twelve of them! That gives this a fancier outline. Border is a thick scallop.

Condition: very good for its age (60 to 70+ years old). It has been stored a long time and has some smudging. Center is smudged (or has coffee stain). A soak in an enzyme cleaner such as Biz or Oxyclean will make this sparkle. I would not be surprised that when this is blocked, it exceeds 25". No rips, tears or broken bridges.

Beautiful colors from this era. You won't see them today if you try to buy the crochet threads, peaches, what seems like hundreds of different creams, violet, yellows, golds, browns, greens, blues, some plain, some varigated.

IMPORTANT: For USA buyers, second item ships free and free insurance for any item(s) over $20. Confirmation included. International buyers: I charge only postage, no handling, and ship most items Airmail (up to 4 lbs). With heavier packages I like to ship Priority International. Any questions, just ask; I have been shipping to my many overseas customers for almost 4 years with few problems.

International buyers welcome, but payment by Paypal only (contact me if a problem).
