Called a silver bowl lamp and most commonly available with the opposing end to the lamp base reflective though available the other way also. Just about all lamp manufacturers if not also home centers stock them. Figure out your wattage and decide what lamp base plus bulb style between a globe and A-Lamp.
For the sign, agree with what’s said especially with avoiding plasic in either keyless or 2" square cleat type. Depends upon if you surface mount in having a like 3" or 4" body to the lamp socket in the case of rear mounted terminals or countersink the lamp socket within a housing so as to protect those using it from touching live terminals.
These amongst many many other types of lamp socket available from festival, cleat, normal lampholder, or marquee type. Lots of choices available. Following is what I chose within a trough that had a reflector cover and is similar to what you initially were seeking.
One will note the white ceramic fiber padding under the lamp sockets which provides some padding between porcelain and the steel of the fixture, this in addition to the use of some Teflon washers so as to further pad the contact of metal to for all intensive purposes ceramic. Silicone or even rubber also works. Concept being that if you install some shock absorption no matter the type of screw or lamp base to porcelain connection you have, you no longer have problems with over tightening or shock breaking the plastic (once used and brittle) or porcelain.
Again the concepts of rear, front or enclosed terminals by way of something pre-wired or screwed down over the conductors for the wiring. Most major manufacturers have a variety of styles that will meet your needs such as Eagle, Cooper, Bryant, Leviton, and many others.
