Tiki Mugs! - Collecting Tiki

My Starboard Lights are all the same, however. Go figure... I also noticed that the Voodoo Tumblers Sabu and I have (they came from the same estate) have very deep and crisp raised relief masks, while the one pictured in the BOT (p. 93) looks 'melted' and almost flat by comparison. Do glass molds lose their definition over time as ceramic mug molds do? (BTW - the winner of my first auction? Not a TikiCentralite...)
