What’s the difference between a compote, a comport and a tazza? Another response

Isn’t computer research amazing. Sandy Greiff of the Paul Vickers Gardner Glass Center at Alfred University in Alfred, New York brings forth a reference, with picture included, to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tazza

The Glass Center contains a treasure trove of documents from Paul Gardner’s years as an assistant to Mr. Carder and his later curatorial period at the Smithsonian. Also, a substantial Carder collection of Mr. Gardner.
