The one used at Vic's was marked Trader Vic's and Vernon Kilns on the bottom: http://www.tikiroom.net/gallery/vics/aat It's different from the one you have. I also have a similar one that is not marked (and the detail doesn't even come close to the the Vernon Kilns piece) http://www.tikiroom.net/gallery/unmarked/aah Sorry to break it to you, Tiki Royale, but there were knockoffs made by other companies. But, man, you've got that killer United Airlines map and that super cool Don the Beachcomber bowl! envy, envy :)
