Basically yes, Jen. Just different names (in Italian, French and English respectively I think) for the same sort of object, although styles vary slightly, they all mean a curved plate/dish on a stand. Some of them are deeper and lidded, others shallower and open, as against a totally flat plate on a stand which would be a cakestand. :)
