These wide, low soup cups are perfect for any soup, or most any meal. I have no information on if they could be baked in, but I'm guessing based on their age. They were made in the 1950s in Portugal. This set was made in a variety of colors, green and yellow tied for most commonly found, then white, then last is pink. They measure6"w x 4.75"d x 2.5"h.
