The closest thing that I can find is Donburi? but that seems more like types
of food not bowls.

ADDING:

This is about 15 and a half cm/6in [![15 and a

question
food
What would be the specific name of this type of bowl?
I think your guess of _donburi_ is correct. The first sense line under 丼{どんぶり}
in Shogakukan's 国語大辞典:

>   1. 厚手で深い陶製の食物を盛る鉢。どんぶりばち。  
>  "A thick and deep ceramic bowl which food is served in. [...]"
>

The food sense is the last sense given for this term:

>   4. 「どんぶりもの（丼物）」の略。  
>  "An abbreviation of _donburimono_ ".
>



**UPDATE:**

I think naruto is probably right: this may be a 茶碗{ちゃわん} instead. I hadn't
considered the scale, and I don't think I've ever seen an earthenware _chawan_
with an earthenware lid before. But given the size, this would be small for a
丼{どんぶり}.

**UPDATE 2:**

At 15cm, this could be a smaller 丼{どんぶり}. And regarding the term 丼{どんぶり}
itself, this can refer to both the bowl and the foods traditionally served in
this kind of bowl. The food is more specifically referred to as 丼{どんぶり}物{もの}.

answer
I think this is a _chawan_ (茶碗【ちゃわん】) rather than a _donburi_ , because it's
small. A typical _chawan_ in my home is about 12 cm in diameter, and a
_donburi_ is about 18 cm or larger. _Chawan_ literally means "tea bowl", but
it's usually used for serving cooked rice ([See
this](http://darumamuseum.blogspot.jp/2008/09/chawan-rice-bowl.html)).

A typical and cheap _chawan_ doesn't have a lid, but some do. If you want to
be specific, you can also say [蓋【ふた】付【つ】き茶碗 ( _futa-tsuki chawan_ , "chawan
with a lid")](http://item.rakuten.co.jp/shoindo/c/0000000121/).

Alternatively you can use a more generic term, お椀 ( _owan_ , "bowl").

**EDIT** : A bowl of 15 cm can be called a 丼, and the name would partly depend
on how this is intended to be used.
