You might want to check out Freecycle sites in Quebec City, Montreal, etc., where these items are common.

Wow, I have never seen these before. But, I can understand why you are looking for them. They are very pretty

Are they a type or a specific brand?

No not really Alee....Just handle-less bowls about 5 to 5-1/2 inches across and about 3-inches tall.

I have been keeping an eye out around here but I am not finding any vintage or antique or even newer ones locally and I thought someone on the forum might have some tucked in the kitchen cupboard somewhere they are not using. Aren't they sweet?

I have some that look similiar that are actually "rice bowls" . . . they are the same shape, but they are totally white . . . those same dimensions.

Rice bowls CJ? This type of bowl can be a very functional for soups or broth or coffee.I think I'll check again on etsy and see if I can find rice bowls that could double as Cafe au Lait bowls-they might be cheaper than what I have been finding on line. I mean who is going to notice whether it's a cafe au lait bowl or a rice bowl? LOL!

Thanks for posting CJ I never would have thought to look for those too!

Oh yeah, they would function for anything, they are great bowls. It's just that shape that is typical of rice bowls. I've seen them used with chopsticks.
Happy hunting!

Those are so nice Melody. I can't believe how expensive they are though.

I found some patterned footed bowls that you could probably use instead and less expensive too!

Sharon, I know! I really try for authenticity, but sheesh the price of original cafe au lait bowls on line makes me SAD!

I looked at the link and they are so SWEET! I am just going to have to save up or give in and get something similar....

How many are you looking for, and are you looking for sets, or individual different ones?

Janet,

Either or! I would love to have at least a pair...it doesn't have to be a matched set.
