Their were made in staffordshire and by rooting around i found out that the company that made them went bust about 1964 so it has to be pre then. I'll post a picture of it soon, but finally after feeling that brit-tiki is devoid of homegrown tiki mugs my bit of urban archeology has shown this to be incorrect
