I've been using the Aesop stainless steel bowl as used by
@Merkurologist (post #10) for months but there were a few things I didn't like. I really wanted a handle as the bowl can be very slippery, the soap kept going over the sides and didn't retain any heat.
I did look at the Fine bowl but but I wasn't 100% sold on the size and looks.
I ended up contacting Victoria from Little Wren Pottery

I'd seen her work via a couple of members on here including
@wayne mattison
I gave her a brief description of what I was after and she came back to me with a price and time scale. £10.00 for a custom bowl, plus £6.99 P&P and a 4 week turn around. The bowls perfect, the packaging was excellent and she was bag on the despatch date. What's not to love?
