I have an ashtray in mint green that says "tahiki" looks like the same maker of the original ashtray. I believe they experimented with a few things before they came to a decision on the name kahiki. the original kahiki started off down the street as a small food stand called "little grass shack". a friend of mine just got a brown ashtray similar to my green tahiki tray, only marked kahiki. hoffman may have made your bowl for their ceramic loving general public, following the polypop craze (just a thought) thus the mai tai on it.
