I dont know anything about the history of that design, but i have one in green that is unmarked. It has kind of a frankoma-ish glaze to it & I have seen others in white & black that i can remember. there are probably even more color variations out there. Yours has that frosty lava type glaze that was popular in the 60's/70's, but hell it might even be an earlier piece. Never seen or heard of one marked trader vics tho, that is tas-ty! flea or thrift? Tanks BBTD... Score at the flea. Yeah, the Vics marking is what makes this a curious piece. It's the older, script style but it is incised or stamped into the clay not printed. Aloha, :tiki:
