Is there a special name for flower arranging bowls?

I’m looking for one of those round glass bowls that are used for flower arranging, they have a metal cover which is a mesh, people usually put that green foam in the bottom and then stick flowers in and they stick out through the holes in the mesh.
I want to find one for a birthday present – I’ve searched online but can’t find anything. If I say ‘glass bowl’ that’s obviously too vague but if I add more info eg ‘flower arrangement’ I get nothing.
So I was wondering if they have a special name I could search with?
I knew if I tried searching for ‘rose bowl’ there’d be a lot of sports stuff :) but I couldn’t find any pics of what I wanted, so thanks for the links.
I can’t do image searches myself – they are banned by the council (I use library computers)
