Perfectly Wide and Deep Pasta Bowls

Have you seen this pasta bowl or one like it? I'm seeking a replacement with the same dimensions.
I bought these bowls at a Williams-Sonoma or Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel years ago. The shape is perfect for a nice serving of pasta. The glaze on the edges has been chipped for a few years but we keep using them because our replacements just haven't lived up to this one. Nothing is as deep and wide. There's a wide variety of almost the same but not quite right (example) bowls out there, but there's something perfect about this depth and lack of a lip that's difficult to match. I have my eBay-foo going, but the hits have been few. Anyone have any pointers?

Hmm. Have you tried restaurant suppliers?
Close, but no 8". Another, 7.5". Might be worth scouting around that site; I *think* you need a 24 oz. bowl.

My lovely everyday pasta bowls are about $100 on replacements now ... I ended up with some from Ikea. Plain but at least don't clash with the main set while a perfect utility size.

I find the Corelle Serving Bowl works well and it might just be a match for your needs.

Best answer: Here's what I got at IKEA. 9" diameter, no lip. Not sure on the depth. Everything else (and I looked like crazy) was 8 1/2" or smaller, with a lip, or the bottom wasn't wide enough for a corn tortilla to lay flat (my requirement) with an appropriate depth for layers of breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Response by poster: We went to IKEA and got the Dinera bowls in blue, plus they were discounted because, alas, they were being discontinued -- but only that color. Thank you tilde!
