when I visualize trying to get a bowl (what size are we talking
about?) totally flat inside, I wonder how you are doing the
transition from bottom to side. That is particularly hard to sand. If
a bowl is wide enough, then yes, a small straight edge could help, but
if you look in your cupboard at the various metal, ceramic and pottery
bowls, you won't find many with a 'flat' bottom because even a small
curve makes them easier to work with.

If you are determined to achieve a certain 'look', just make several
wooden blocks of various widths that you can use as small
straightedges,,,
===========================
If you do the above and put some adhesive back sand paper on each one, it
will help achieve that flat you're looking for.
