Soup mugs

I am horribly ill with a nasty virus and eating a lot of soup. I had some in a normal mug earlier but it wasn't quite right and it set me thinking about the retro soup mug-bowls that everyone's granny had in the 80s, with a gently bulbous belly, a good-sized mug handle, and a recipe for a soup printed on the side. It seems to be possible to buy the originals second-hand but I would much prefer something plain but in the same shape. I have looked at French onion soup bowls and they are not quite right as although they have the belly they don't tend to have the right kind of handle.

Has anyone seen them on their travels? Do they exist?

Is this the sort of shape you want?

Yes, although to be really fussy I’d prefer if the top lip wasn’t flared! The lower rounded belly shape is spot on, however.

I see it - the cauldron-shaped one?

Yes that was the one
