Tatting can be used to make lace edging as well as doilies, collars, accessories and jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, waist beads, and other decorative pieces. The lace is created with a pattern of rings and chains formed from a series of cow hitch or half-hitch knots, called double stitches, over a core thread. Gaps can be left between the stitches to form picots, which are used for practical construction as well as decorative effect. In Italian, tatting is called chiacchierino, which means "chatty". In the German language, tatting is known by the Italian-derived word Occhi or as Schiffchenarbeit, which means "work of the little boat", referring to the boat-shaped shuttle. Which is very fitting, as the original inspiration for the art of tatting as a whole art may have nautical netting and decorative rope work. Sailors and fishermen at sea were know to gather motifs for their girlfriends and wives at home. Decorative ropework employed on ships includes techniques (esp. coxcombing) that show striking similarity with tatting. A good description of this can be found in Knots, Splices and Fancywork. Some believe tatting originated over 200 years ago, often citing shuttles seen in 18th-century paintings of women such as Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Princess Marie Adélaïde of France, and Anne, Countess of Albemarle. A close inspection of those paintings, however, shows that the shuttles in question are too large to be tatting shuttles, and that they are actually knotting shuttles. There is no documentation of or examples of tatted lace that dates prior to 1800. All available evidence shows that tatting originated in the early 19th century. However, recent research by Cary Karp demonstrates some potential connections between the two fiber arts. According to Karp, "Knotting and tatting did appear sequentially in the historical record and can reasonably be regarded separately...the demarcation between the structures that characteris knotting, and the central elements of tatting, was not as clear cut as is often maintained." JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This lot includes a vintage BUCILLA tatting shuttle and needle, perfect for any lacemaking enthusiast. The celluloid material adds a touch of elegance to your project, while the mixed materials of this lot prove to be interesting . Ideal for those looking for a unique addition to their collection, sewing box or for those just starting out in the art of tatting. CONDITION: Shuttle is in great vintage condition - no damage or quirks to note. Both the gold tool and needle in good shape also - the gray plastic pieces have a bit of a curve to them (one is more severe than the other). All in all - a nice little lot or collection in good useable shape still. Lots of life left in these sewing collectibles that are over 100 years old. In an excellent state of preservation.
