Try a good restaurant or professional food/equipment supply store. I did 
a quick browse online--
http://www.twinsupply.com/ sells them for example---
5-3/4 INCH BOWL-BIRCHWOOD Product Code : 52860
Price: US$ 1.71 is one entry.

is more expensive.

You'd want to see a sample to make sure what you were getting.
Make sure you specify hot or cold service needs. Some are salad only.

chief server. I don't know
that a hard and fast rule would work.
