Very interesting thread. I have known this ritual, but not related to old items such as your stein. The unit I served with used named beer steins for each officer who served there.
These steins were constructed of silver, but had a glass bottom. When the member died in combat the glass bottom was broken, prohibiting anyone else ever using it again.
