tt: although the bottom rim is not as thickly glazed as the rest of it, slacks is right, it isn't the raw bisque. it's sealed with some sort of coating (it's got a sheen to it), but not thick enough to craze as it is crazed on the rest of the bottom and the sides. weird. but mega mahalos for the offer, i would be proud to own an official tikitanked volcano insert if/when you make them. re: maker of your volcano insert: there are absolutely no markings on mine. however, on page 80 of tikiquest duke sez OMC made them. perhaps his had a sticker.

johntiki: found it in hampden, hon. specifically, hampden junque. as to its provenance, no idear. i'm pretty sure i spent no more than $18 on it, in fact i think it was that. it's a bit more than my limit for a typical mug, but i had a feeling this one was warrented :)
