The closest thing I can think of pot-wise are "azalea pots" but most of those are 3/4 as tall as they are wide.
Keep your eyes open cruising garage sales, thrift stores, and craft stores and you might get lucky. There are often inexpensive to downright cheap bowls/containers that can be repurposed as pots. How easily depends on the size one is looking for (which would be the bigger challenge in your case, I suspect) as well as whether one requires drainage holes (drilling through ceramic is doable but not necessarily easy).
While the dimensions on these are way off for what you're seeking, they can give you an idea of the possibilities:
-- bowl for nuts or chips: $0.50
-- decorative bowl: $1
-- bonsai pot from the "Rack of the Dead & Dying" at Lowes: $0.50
Now this last one would come close to your desired dimensions. Found it on the clearance rack at a craft store I walked into seeking candle supplies. Had a largish chip along the rim (which I think I did a pretty decent job of covering up) so got it for $2-3.
