NOTE,by Sid Lethbridge, from the Bill Morrison post of the clear compote: "this straddled the flint and non-flint eras. It first appears in the 1859 catalog with a different standard which was replaced before 1876 with the style seen on your example and the ones in the database. Various names were given - Scallop Dia.; Scall. Diamond; Diamond. It is quite possible that scallop refers to the rim to differentiate this form from other Diamond comports with a different style of rim rather than a specific pattern."
