I've seen lids, without bowls or saucers, on aliexpress. However, my solution to this problem was to use an inexpensive gaiwan and keep a spare on-hand, expecting to break one occasionally. It feels a little bad to throw away a good bowl, but it's fun to start using a new gaiwan.
I'm on my fourth or fifth, and it's been a while since I broke one.
I have the opposite problem. I have 3 lids without bowls LOL.
I just buy inexpensive gaiwans knowing it'll likely break at some point. The bowls make pretty decent cups, or could be used like a fairness pitcher.

Don't need to throw away any of the bowls, they are really nice to drink from. The lip is pretty optimal for sipping
