Bowl for dough rising

Hi, 

So my boyfriends dad bakes all the time and his 60th birthday is coming up. Upon discussing his passion, he mentioned that he used to bake when he was a kid with his grandmother using a 'ceramic bowl; red on the outside & varnished and cream on the inside unvarnished' unfortunately that bowl broke last year. I didn't see it and so thought it would be a great idea to buy him one for his birthday. 


The only problem is upon searching there are multiple bowls that fit this kind of description, any advice? Does anyone know which kind of bowl this is or how it looks or better yet have one to sell? I have until the 30th November. Please let me know!

 

Thank you and sorry for being so clueless about this, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Rather than take a chance on buying the wrong one, why not print out photos of each of the bowls you've found and wrap them up and give them to him on his birthday, and then he can choose the right one and you can order or buy it? And what a thoughtful "in-law" you are!

We usually prepare such gifts in form of a voucher, just for the fancy look (just a hint).
