[Shop-talk] cove (or 'dish') style cut on a piece of wood.

I'm making a piece of furniture that needs to have a rounded 'dish' cut 
into it.  Like a cove cut on a board, but just in a circle.  Think of a 
change plate where there is a bowl cutout on a board.

The cut would look like if you had a table saw blade about 1/2" out of the 
table, then put a piece of wood straight down on it and twisted it in a 
circle.  I know that wouldn't work (and would be HUGELY unsafe.)

Here is an image of the cut I am trying to make (there are two of them on 
this valet..

Anyone know how to do that?  I can only find ways to make a cove 
lengthwise in a board.    The piece isn't small enough to put in a lathe 
(but I thought about making an insert, and that is my last resort, but I 
would rather not do that.)

Thanks in advance!
