Correct. I have been looking for one of the pans for baking such
loaves at home. The commercial round loaves I originally
inquired about were my starting point my search for the pan. I
thought if I knew what the bread was called, I'd know what to
look for in a pan. Eventually, my search skipped past the
commercial loaf to finding the name of the loaf type and what to
call the pan I was searching for.

Thus far, all I have found are commercial pans to make 4-8 loaves
at a time or vintage/antique pans in unusable condition. There
was a UK web site that offered Mermaid brand milk loaf pans; but,
they have not responded to repeated email requests about shipping
to the US. Bummer! My quest continues.

I just had a look and they sell them on Amazon, but they are out of stock
atm.

these are the first one I have seen that doesn't mention Mermaid:
