Parasol question

[BettyValentine]

Does anyone know the name for those parasols that aren't shaped like umbrellas? They have a point on the top and sort of bell out ... if that makes any sense. I think they often have a scalloped edge. I'm trying to find a picture to post, but I haven't had any luck.

I want to acquire one very much, but I don't even know how to find a picture of one at the moment.

Thanks!

As far as I know, they're still called parasols. I don't think there's any other name for them.

Is what you're looking for like any of the following?

Here is the link for it. It's called a "pagoda style" umbrella or parasol. The same website has another one with trim on the bottom edge, which isn't scalloped.

KittyT is right, that type of parasol is called a "pagoda."
Brollies Galore has a few of the pagoda styles and at fair prices. Just click on "Ladies Parasols" to the left and you should see the different pagoda styles they have. Hope you find something you like!
