(local columbus potter, early 60's. highly collectable stuff. any of it.)they went to the cheaper japan monkey head. I believe orchids of hawaii. I have similar mugs, one marked orchids, one marked kahiki.I believe the mug #1 is the first mug orchids made for them. every time the mold wore out , they just made a new one off of the old mug...until they became unrecognisable. sometimes they would just make a shippment of orchids monkey mugs. i have the whole progression of these mugs. all pretty much worthless to me.(being here) the only kahiki stuff I value is the finely made hoffman pottery.
