The 4-inch diameter Pillivuyt souffle dishes are perfect for individual savory or dessert souffles, but they have many other uses as well, from mise en place in the kitchen to holding grated cheese or condiments on the table. Pillivuyt quality is very high -- you can tell at a glance that these are not cheaply made.

Note that there are two 4-inch diameter Pillivuyt pleated souffles, but at present the Amazon descriptions do not accurately distinguish them. The "deep classic" souffle is 2.5 inches high and holds 1.5 cups (12 oz), whereas the "classic" souffle is 2 inches deep and holds 1.25 cups (10 oz).

Here is a tip that you may find useful: the dark blue plastic lids from 12 oz (and 12.5 oz) canisters of Planters peanuts fit both of these 4-inch diameter) souffles perfectly.

this product is excellent. Porcelain is nice and translucent. the product goes in freezer as well as microwave and oven. I used it for small souffles, flans, custards, or to warm leftovers. I also used them to make custards with bain marie. I put them in the dishwasher with no fear. The procelain is so nice that I used it from oven to the table. It is, I was told with no lead and cadmium, which means that I can put them in the fridge with food in it with no fear. My daughter has bought many pillivuyt products and I have used them for years because they are pretty looking while very handy.

The dishes arrived safe and sound, encased in bubble wrap. These will be the perfect size for an individual savory souffle.

I actually received two of these from Amazon--both smashed to smithereens. After I received the first one and reported that it had arrived broken due to an extremely poor job of packing on Amazon's part, they sent me another, It was likewise poorly packed and also arrived broken. I haven't had time to repack and return the broken shards to Amazon, so haven't received a refund. I did, however, purchase the same souffle dish from another company who takes care to pack things properly and I love it--wonderful product. Great dish--just buy it somewhere else!
