Buratto

Embroidered Buratto, 16C, Florence

Italy, 16th century - Chalice Veil with Monogram of Christ - 1920.1156 - Cleveland Museum of Art

Buratto is an Italian needle lace made by darning on a net. It is quite similar in appearance to filet lace but with one important distinction—it is darned onto a woven net, rather than the knotted net used for filet. Buratto tends to also be heavier in appearance due to the woven nature of the netting used^[1]
