About 3 inches deep. The bowl is totally plain except for the three tikis supporting it. They are not at the corners, but rather in the middle of each side. They have slightly pointy heads. The whole thing has a brown matte glaze on it and an OMC gold foil sticker on the bottom. I think I know what you're describing. The Tiki's (Ku version) are sort of "leaning" back, sitting, and have their hands on their knees? If so, that is a bowl I have seen once used at Trader Dicks', Islander...a whole bunch of places. Used for Scorpions, Rum Bowl drinks, Kava Bowls. A nice piece, usually brown and rust and color. Others probably have more info. Was it a great deal? That's what I like to hear...you got it for $4, thereby giving hope for collectors that ebay nosebleed prices can be avoided. midnite
