vintage Mr. Bali Hai mug came to mind too, but their has to be others to have the claim that vintage has the bottom. I don't have really any vintage mugs, so what are some the the others that have this bottom.

I do know that a flat bottom cup or bowl will scrape table surfaces more if they are flat but bowls with rings (convect) get their strength. The load barring weight is applied the where the bowl starts its angle up.
