<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TallCakes, post: 1945209, member: 107&quot;]one might consider the audience when considering to call this a compote or comport. Reviewing old catalogs the form was often titled by it&#039;s contents. Thus a comport was often called as compote, but also often a footed bowl; a sugar bowl was designated a sugar; a creamer was a cream; a toothpick holder a toothpick, a spoon holder a spoon which we now call a spooner, etc... guess those catalog editors figured their audience was smart enough to figure it out...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
