Small lidded loaf tin that is *not* non-stick
I'm looking for a small lidded loaf tin that does not have a non-stick covering and is not made from aluminium. Ideally, it'd be ceramic or glass.
I have an Emile Henry ceramic loaf baker with a lid that I love, but it is too big. Ideally I'm looking for 8 inches/20cm by 4 inches/10cm, by 2.5inches/6cm deep.
I'm in Italy, so anything sent from outside Europe (including now the UK) is probably impractical.
Have searched but not found anything. I'd love to know if there's something I'm missing! Thanks.

like this fit the bill? I've got 4 of those. They're blued steel (I think) and the seller recommended seasoning them, but maintaining that is very cumbersome. I've been considering getting stainless steel pans from the same seller.
Thanks. I've not seen these before. How often do you think they need seasoning? I have cast iron, so am used to the routine.
I've used Lodge cast iron loaf pans in the past and they were basically maintenance-free compared to these. They're so smooth the seasoning starts peeling off after a few bakes (whole rye).
The guy that runs the Foodgeek YouTube channel has an interesting one as well:
It's this one. You can get a stainless steel base for it (or two, and use one as the cover) and maybe screw a divider in the middle and you'd get two smaller pans.
I can see I wouldn't be up for seasoning a pan that much.
I like the wooden one - never seen anything like it, so simple.
I've just found a small ceramic loaf tin with lid on at www.tescomaonline.com. I think I am going to try that one.
Love to hear how you get on with the wood, if you go for it.
