Thanks for the quick response!
Thanks, Christopher, for such a quick response. I went back and forth and apparently erred on the side of this being a 'sheetweaver bowl and doily', based on the pics I found on this site. Unfortunately, I have no shots or recollection of the web to assist in ID.

Thanks for the generous comment, too! It was hard to get a decent shot due to her small size and the breeze that kept pushing her all over the place, seemingly every time I had her in focus.
