Mauna Loa Fertility Goddess find - Collecting Tiki

The back side of this one does not have the cool swirlys that MachTiki's has...but it does have the Mauna Loa Logo. Also, here is a matchbook from the restaurant. Row 2: This is the New Guinea Handled Mug that Bosko mentioned and that is portrayed on the menu that Humuhumu posted. 2 different glaze variations with nice detail. Bottom is clearly marked in the mold. Row 3: Same New Guinea Handled Mugs with much less detail and different glaze variations. Hand-written markings on the bottoms. I also have photos of both of these mugs with Ren Clark markings. So, likely there is some connection between the manufacturers used by Ren Clark and Mauna Loa. I've never seen it but maybe Mauna Loa used the Severed Head Mug as well...? ModMana :drink:
