What size ramekins do you recommend for indiv. souflees?

In fact, it's a bit of a sore point. I prefer 10 cm diameter ramekins - but they're almost impossible to find. I bought half a dozen of them here once, in the shop on Martyrs' Square (which Sarah not unreasonably refers to as 'the grot shop')and have never been able to find any more ever since. Even though I regularly haunt ebay in search of them. In London, the ramekins I use are of much finer porcelain, but they are all inevitably smaller than I really want. Please let me know if you have a source!
