It's a toy or child's piece, I think the seller just got the dimensions a little off. French bowl would be bigger and have a fairly drastic slope to the sides. I had been meaning to post the pics of my toy for eye candy, so if you see these Charles C. you can pick them up. Thanks.
Mine measures a tad over 5 1/4" outside handle to outside handle and a little over 1 3/4" deep without the cover.
