I must have been loopy on the Quicksand. I've chatted with Bob about these mugs since then, Stella Bodey/Spurlin made mugs for a lot of places in Los Angeles and beyond. It's a Spurlin mug, but the one I have and others I've seen have "Islander" marked on the bottom. Same mug, just has the LA Islander's logo on the bottom in black. One will see Spurlin mugs from time to time with this same glaze, but whether one is from the Islander or not is hard to say. If it says "Islander" ok that's easy, if not, I presume it was for another locale unless I have precise info. Where this one was used would be difficult to ascertain. So, when in doubt, go with "from Eli Hedley"! Well, Bob, on this crappy Showcase I bid $7261... midnite
