It is then not hard to find a Kanstul, GR, Laskey that would build you one with a 1 1/4 rim. That would take care of the "embouchure-mouthpiece" interface.
Another option in "stock" mouthpieces for you to look into is Curry - the 1.25DE (trumpet shank) or 1.25P (cornet shank). Details about these are at the Curry web site.

Robin has given you great advice. I can't add much more except to underscore his advice to try many different mouthpieces. Don't worry about rim measurements or cup shapes, just look for the one that is the best match for your piccolo trumpet. Best of luck with your search!
