there does not appear to a standard SVG pear shape.

Is there a "standard " way of drawing a pear using path which does not
appear to be a cone?

actually a "tear drop" might be a better description

eg a curve that passes through two arbitary points joining a third point
(start and end point)

.. any examples?

Something like this I'd think:

<path d="M100,50 l25,60 c25,60 -75,60 -50,0 z"/>

http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/paths.html#PathDataLinetoCommands
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/paths.html#PathDataCubicBezierCommands

Just keep the cubic bezier curve's control points collinear with the lines.
