Giles Shaving Bowls are excellent and well worth a look
Giles Shaving Co.- Spotty Pedestal Wet Shaving Bowl - Handmade in UK | eBay
Handmade ceramic shaving bowl with deep ridges and a spotty centre to help kick up a thick, slick lather. Think of this as a hybrid between my two other designs; the grooved bowl and the -now discontinued- spotty bowl.www.ebay.co.uk
The green one has fins in the sides to help create foam. The blue has the swirls, the black (cheapest) looks like it has nothing.
Any suggestions

+1 on this. I use my Proraso mug the same wayApples to oranges.
Proraso isn't a shaving bowl. It's a shaving mug. It's not designed to build lather in it, but to place a puck, held by those ridges, then load your brush. If you are old school you may like to build your lather on the puck directly.
If you have a very long barber sized brush, like Omega 48, 98 etc. they will lather in the mug as if it was a bowl without hitting the walls. The lather is well contained in the mug, I have no issues with it wanting to leak outside. It's also great to soak your brushes. Anything smaller or thicker will be annoying to use. Example, Simpson Polo 8 while long, it constantly hits the walls because it's a thick handle. Duke 3 or Vulfix 404 require you to dip your fingers inside the mug to be able to lather at the bottom.
Timeless bowl is a conventional bowl and does more what your would expect to get from a lathering bowl.
IME ridges in bowls are made to hold soap, cream and puck in place, not to lather better.
I use mine also as a soap scuttle in winter.
