  1. Sort of pattern one would expect a "maiden lady" to choose. Not a hint of boldness or assertiveness, it's plain, simple, and proper to a tee. I can see why some would like it, but it has never really appealed to me.

  2. It reminds me of the tatted handkerchief my old maiden Aunt Kat carried with her in her purse - prim and proper.

  3. The same designer, Alfred Kintz, also gave us International's "Wedgwood" which is shaped similarly but is much more detailed and visually interesting.
