Over 3 ounces, for a mug?
Good Grief! Is it made of lead or depleted uranium?
–B.G.–
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Its been a great help. As you'll see in my OP and first few follow up posts, I was looking for something in a specific shape/size. Also I required something of a nice feeling/looking piece that I would enjoy drinking coffee from and eating from. Finally, it had to be cheap, since it's for my family of 4 (not including me since I dont need one).
I think the Jumbo Sierra Cup is the best fit so far, with some of your suggestions coming close but missing this or that. Many of my favorite suggestions you made were just too pricey, so I guess I have expensive taste.
Ignoring price, the Krupilka bowl was dead on what I want. just too pricey.
The Jumbo Sierra Cup is the right shape, wide and shallow with steeply angled sides, for comfortable drinking and scooping food.
Size-wise, it's close at 16oz, 20oz might be better or maybe that's too big, I'll find out.
The handle keeps kids hands off the hot stuff
The handle can be clipped to a pack
Weight?…well it's light, and thats good enough for us.
Material, metal is nice to drink from, better than plastic
Price, well for $7 its more than i wanted to spend but probably worth it since we'll use it for a long time.
I'm going to give it a shot and see if it's close to the right size and if so, it seems like a winner. If anyone comes across something else that you think beats it, I would love to hear from you!!!
The search for the perfect mugbowl must go on.
Dude,
Now we just need to get you obsessed with stoves; then you’ll really be going somewhere. ;)

Now go back a read the specs, Bob. It holds 24oz and is just a few grams more than a similar sized Ti version. It is a pot in my book, but cheap, functional and tough. I wouldn't turn a kid loose with a $50 Ti pot.
"Mug" and "bowl" point to purpose, but not size. A mug might be 450ml, but makes a small coffee cup let alone a bowl.
I lean to a typical 450ml Ti cup with folding handles and a Snowpeak Ti bowl. A folding Ti spoon or spork rounds it out.
The 450ml cup, a Ti Esbit wing stove, the folding spoon, and some foil for lid and windscreen make my go-to minimalist kitchen.

I already obsessed over stoves. Then you fixed my problem with the Kovea Spider. Obsession over!! Now I bring you this problem. Fix it Jim!!
Sometimes, it's worth paying the price to get what you want. I think the Hybrid Trail Bowl from Snowpeak is pretty bang on. Yeah, it's $17 per bowl, but over a 20-year life span, so what.

Dang it. I’m working myself out of a job here. (But the Spider is a pretty cool little stove. Affordable, compact, can take a 360° windscreen, can handle inverted canister operation, good pot stability. It’s not a bad stove at all.)

Dude, I think you already got it. A slightly oversize Sierra Cup ought to do it. Standard size is about 8 oz/250 ml. Campmor has one that is 12 oz/350 ml for $5.99. Link: Sierra Cup 12 oz. 350 ml is a little small for cooking but should be good for drinking and probably OK for a bowl.
Liberty Mountain has a 500ml Sierra Cup.
If that’s not big enough Vargo and Montbell both sell 750 ml (that’s a BIG cup) Ti Sierra cup, but they ain’t cheap.
