I'm sure that they still use them in belgium or the netherlands, but do not have any contacts in belgium and looked in the blackbird shop in rotterdam when I was in Holland - no luck ! I may have to get a potter to make me some up - could anyone please help with dimensions ?

We have a bowl similar to that but in grey, I think ours is meant to be a deep soup bowl, and we had a bird who used to hide in it everyday, oh she just loved it.

Copy then crop the pic slightly, it's amazing the file size difference, or lower the megapix on your caneral when taking pics for the site

This is a scan from Racing Pigeon magazine - which I cropped and tried to send direct from my scans - no luck and also I resized this image using Adobe Photoshop and attached to a word document - this format not accepted.

if i remember correctly the deep bowls are a bit narrower on the bottom, they are good for single rearing as the youngster does'nt get its legs streached out as they sometimes doo

You could try your local pottery or art school, they will make exactly what you require.
