US soldiers manage to get a break during the fighting - Bastogne, Belgium Dec 1944

"On the obverse, two lions stand confronted with their chests touching and their faces turned backwards towards the vessel’s handles. Each of the lions is rendered in black paint. Their manes, mouths, chests and bellies are all detailed with red paint, while the locks of hair along their necks alternate in color between red and black. Details of the lions’ anatomy are articulated with incisions. Their ferocity is implied especially by their open mouths, which display their large teeth and projecting tongues. On reverse, a complex interlocking lotus and palmette motif fills the entire pictorial field. The rim and handles of the vessel are decorated with thin linear bands. The lions and the lotus and palmette motif stand atop a red bounding line, below which is a pair of gridded lines and another red bounding line, which is in turn bordered by a ray pattern that emanates from the cup’s foot."

Stop staring at the teapot and drink the tea.

Pir: a misspelling of bi, specially in Brazilian Portuguese. It can be a reclaimed slang term, as it's seen as a shorthand of piranha/piriguete or biscate (slutty/thot/hooker/bitch/hoe). Alts: pi, pyr.
