I was served wine in one of these in a tapas bar in Madrid. After later describing it to a Catalonian colleague, I was informed that it is typical of the region of Galicia and later found it is called a "taza". It's an entirely impractical vessel for serving wine - and I adore it. Does anyone know where I can find them to purchase?  |

That looks quite similar to the traditional Breton bowls for drinking cider.  |

"taza" means cup in Spanish. When I googled "comprar tazas" I got all kinds of sites selling mugs and teacups.

They look (a bit) like those café au lait bowls you see in trendy breakfast pubs in Germany.
Surprising to see this style in Europe though.

Any French store that sells cups or mugs or dishes will have bowls similar to that, hwinpp. I'm surprised they are in trendy pubs in Germany -- I don't use a bowl to drink coffee because I find it uncomfortable to hold, but I know quite a few French people who do -- only for breakfast though.

My husband loves these traditional bowls for drinking coffee in but,only when he has a fresh baguette to go with his coffee.
