Doily
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A doily is a small ornamental mat usually made of cotton or linen placed underneath a dish or bowl. Openwork allows the table surface to show through. In addition to their decorative function, doilies have a utilitarian role, protecting fine wood furniture from scratches from crockery.
They may be made using crochet or knitting techniques.
Some doilies have a fabric center with a lace edge.
