I know what I mean. It lowers the bars without being an obvious negative rise. Anybody or did I make the whole thing up? A link would be great, please.
Like this?
FSA or Syntace, 'drop stem' in google should bring up a few options
I think this meets your description but does the opposite of what you want it to do...

Any stem with a positive rise flipped upside down.

Tall-Stack Stem, 31.8mm
Struggling to see the point of that one - all that stack, combines with a load of negative rise to undo the stack. To add weight and allow a pointlessly long steerer?
"It lowers the bars without being an obvious negative rise"
"Any stem with a positive rise flipped upside down."
Thanks anyway.
Thank you for the suggestions. The stem I'm thinking of runs just about horizontal to the floor and clamps below the top of it. I know what I mean. This could be a purely cosmetic requirement and it may make my bike ride like a donkey.......
I think I know the stem you mean and I can' recall the name of it either.....
Are you talking about the Intend stems? The faceplate only clamps on the underside. It only works with flat, or shallow rise bars.
Ah, one of these then:
Sorry. Not those. The Syntace is almost exactly it but the drop is not so severe. Are they available in different angles? I’m in a meeting so searching on my phone is tricky. I realise that head angle will make a difference but this is a pure XC race bike. It doesn’t have any slack about it.
If one of you geometry wizards want to do some maths?...
Happy I’m not the only one who’s seen one.
Just a 0 degree stem surely?

No, but different lengths from 44mm to 111mm.
Here's the 44:
After much research and help from you guys, I've concluded it must have been the Syntace flat force which is way beyond my sensible budget so as also suggested up there, I'll get a high ride stem and turn it upside down. Thanks again for the help.
