Well Hipster, if you check your Tiki Farm mugs, they're all like that. Not as drastic of an indent as some vintage mugs but if I didn't put it there, Holden's factory would have my head. (could that be a mug? Severed Squid Skull?) Yikes!

Some manufacturers have no problem with the additional labor to stilt the mugs but you can't get any decent markings on the bottom that way.
