Here is a find that has me asking myself the question...Tiki or Not Tiki? I found this not too long ago and was facinated by the striking detail. The lines are simple and the detail becomes more apparent the longer you look at it. The height is about 6 1/4 inches. The interior has a glossy tan/yellow glaze and the exterior a slightly textured milk-chocolate appearance. The interior is hollow, following the exterior curves..the walls are about 1/8 inch thick. I do not know the provenience of this one, Trader Vic's perhaps? It looks like something he'd market, but am just not sure. Any suggestions?

Oh Yea, the little objects you see between the bottom of the wahine and the shelf are little protectors/bumpers I stuck on there to stabilize it.
