I got a Blue Mermaid mug at a NYC restaurant that was stamped Orchids of Hawaii -- JAPAN. This was in the early 90s. Either someone was using the same mold, or there was some massive overstock from the past. Warehouse find? Probably not--someone was just using the same mold or a copy. Can't we do carbon testing on mugs? :)
