Als ich es von meinem Chef aus seinem Keller bekam, sagte er, es müsse alt sein. Da dort Westdeutschland steht, gehe ich davon aus, dass es zwischen 1949 und 1989 hergestellt wurde, aber nicht sicher. Ich habe mich gefragt, ob jemand weiß, was die Herstellermarke bedeutet oder so. Auf dem Etikett steht „0,5L“ mit einem lustigen Schriftzug und auf der Unterseite steht „WESTDEUTSCHLAND“ mit einem kleinen „W“ über einem „C“ des Herstellers. Außerdem ist auf der Unterseite eine „5“ zu sehen. Danke schön!

Yes this is a mug
I don’t think that there is much to identify here. Looks like a run of the mill bog standard mug. Probably nicked from a restaurant or something.
The mark with the 0,5 shows you how much you have to fill in to get half a litre. Unfortunately i doubt that there is much more to it. Looks like a standardised mug from the federal republic. Most likely the intended purpose was beer.
I‘d say its a small Beer keg. We have those at home. It is generic (without branding)

This is a 0.5L beer mug made out of stone in Western Germany so anywhere between 1945 and 1989.
It’s usually called a „Bierhumpen“. Since it has no print from a specific location or festivity it seems to be a generic brand for home use.
Usually those come with prints of Bayern, some castle or specific city, Octoberfest etc etc. And are a take home trinket for tourists.
It’s like one of the useless items in old clkck and point adventure games.
There is nothing to add, nothing special or interesting about it.
Pretty much found it for you. I recognized it as Werner Corzelius as I have a few.

Fun fact: although Americans will call that a beer stein, the word Stein in German means „stone“.
This is a standard Keferloher [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keferloher](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keferloher)
Its a „Steinkrug“. it’s for beer.
Hey i found this page:

unfortunately yours is not part of it, but maybe you can investigate further or rule some out.
It has half a liter and is older than 30 years. You can drink from it instead of asking questions. After drinking from it you might ask again.
I still have a very similar mug that has „Checkpoint Charlie“ on it which I got in Berlin somewhere around 1980. I was lucky enough to travel through Checkpoint Charlie into East Berlin at the time.
I wish I could post a pic of it here!
It looks like something I made in art class out of clay
