Default Porcelain vs. bakelite socket

I need to repair a pole lamp; one of the sockets went bad. The lamp
currently has porcelain sockets, in particular they are bottom knob turn
sockets. Not only can't I find a replacement socket at Home Depot / Lowes,
I can't even find a porcelain one on the web. I can only find bakelite.
Does bakelite withstand as much heat as porcelain?
