[QUOTE="kristiaan, post: 75046, member: 654"]Another military ceramic that tells a (sad!)story, is this handpaited German lancers beermug. I just recently found out that the hole at the bottom was deliberated made by the (former!) owner's brothers in arms! In order to "ritual cripple" the mug so no other person would drink out of it after the death(when KIA) of the owner..... The hole also has the triangular shape of the lance top.
