Found these two mugs the other day and wonder if anyone has seen anything like this before. The first looks like a Wedgewood after the cultural revolution and was made in Japan. Is this still tiki ? If yes, where does it come from ???

This one could be a shot mug. Black outside with a lovely red on the inside. On its base it says ?Joni, B.C., Canada?. Is there any tiki lounge called Joni up there? The face on the front has a goatee, the one on the back a bizarre headdress that reminds one of ancient Greek theatre. Is this still tiki?
