They bowls only hold one cup (8 ounxes). Not sure if that's much soup.
Could they be used to bake eggs (one per bowl)?

Ramekins? I'm not sure there's a name that connotes handles.

Corning used to make something similar and called them "Grabbits".

They look like the vessels in which cooks place ingredients and seasonings
to be used while cooking mise en place. They appear way too small to
actually cook anything in.

Without further info, I'd treat them as I would individual soup bowls.
The confusing thing to me, is that if they were meant for soup or chili,
why didn't they include lids like the ceramic ones do (I have 4 ceramic
& glazed 12 Oz soup/chili bowls with both nub handles and lids). Mine
are ok in the oven at warming temps, and in the microwave with lid off
for a reheat. I have not pushed them temperature wise. Glass I would
push further :-)

They are potagers, presumably of Pyrex glass. I've never seen them made of
that. They're usually heavy pottery and often brown, which is practical
because when they are run under a broiler to brown the cheese on top of the
onion soup, stains appear on the body. These appear never to have been
used.

Okay Giusi, you use the term "potager" which can mean either a bowl for
soup, or a pot for growing a kitchen garden per the inet definitions.
Which were you referring to? It seems you were referring to "soup" bowl,
but most definitions seem to indicate a kitchen garden (herb) role.

The inet def I found that seems to describe:
http://www.answers.com/topic/potager-1 in a typical manner.

I mentioned I have soup/chili bowls (mine were glazed ceramic, with lids
used for soup or chili, and also brown). Since I did post almost two
hours earlier than you, I assumed you saw my post. That is why I'm
confused with the term "potager". Rather than a description of a soup
bowl usage, the inet seems to describe these for kitchen garden usage.

Can you clarify?

Yes, more like that because of the handle, IMO, than of an individual
casserole. The little casseroles often have two handles instead of one.
Or none.

Ovenproof Casserole Dish For One. Or Individual Casserole Dish.

They can be used however you choose to use them. In some restaurants, a
cup of soup is an 8-ounce serving. In others, it seems to be slightly
more than that.

Corning Vision calls it "Grabit"... is embossed with V-150-V.
Scroll to very bottom... I have just one... I use it to store small
amounts of LOs.

Those are definitely NOT made by Pyrex. The shape is not one of their
molds (the handles are completely wrong for Pyrex) and they didn't
really do plain milky glass. Pyrex used the white glass with fired on
colors and patterns and later (in the late 1980's and 90's) went to
clear colored glass. Those look to me like they were made by
Glasbake. Glasbake and Anchor Hocking both used milky glass, some with
colors, some not. Pyrex rarely did plain milk glass. Anchor used more
angular shapes though, so I'm thinking this is Glasbake. I'd be
interested to know what the bottom stamp says.

Pyrex didn't make "Grabbit's", those were actually the Corningware
pyro-ceramic material. Pyrex is tempered glass. Big difference.

I would call them handled soup bowls or casseroles. If you're selling
them on ebay, the important thing to mention is the manufacturer, the
capacity and that they have handles. That's what collectors will be
looking for.

What you call your veg garden I call my orto and French call a potager. But
it also means a soup bowl and that's of course what this looks like. You
must have seen those brown drooly looking ones? In shape it resembles a
porringer, but those are usually smaller and I haven't seen any newer than
early 19th century.

I wonder if they could be for dipping sauces in some Oriental
cuisine? They do look useful for a mise en place though.

I had a little souffle in one in a Georgetown restaurant years ago. I think
I've also seen them with French Onion Soup, as someone else said, but they
were that odd brown glazed pottery stuff.

I have a set of three different-sized nesting straight-sided Corning
soufflee dishes that my sister-in-law gave me as a Christmas gift
probably 30 years ago, in the 70s.

I don't use them a often because altho I am sure they are sturdy, they
seem very thin. And of course, I don't make many soufflees. Between
cholesterol and weight-loss diets, most people don't eat the way we used to.

Looks like most sellers are listing these bowls as "Glasbake milk glass soup
bowls with handles" or something similar (assuming yours are made by
Glasbake as well). There are quite a few listings on eBay for them (and
they don't seem to sell for much).

Yep, not a high price. A little over a buck a piece.

I like it too. I just bought the neatest old caramel colored custard cups.

Have you seen the Anchor Hocking copper colored pieces? They have
small (4 inch diameter or so) dishes with handles, that are useful as
feeding dishes for cats and small dogs, standard sized casserole
dishes, 8" round cake pans, pie pans, custard dishes, loaf pans, 9"
square bakers, 9x13" bakers.... they came in all sizes. Really
beautiful metallic copper color. There are a bunch on ebay right now.
Overpriced in my opinion.... they are readily available at yard sales
and second hand stores. (gotta find the yard sales given by elderly
grandmas or recently departed spinster aunts. they have the best
kitchen collectibles!).
