Need help with Mug Id - Collecting Tiki

The first is a Chinese mug which had remnants of an unidentifiable retail sticker affixed to the bottom. Does anyone know where this may have come from? Was it a single item or part of a set or series? The second mug was sold as an Orchids of Hawaii, Japan R-3 with green, jeweled eyes. The markings on the bottom are painted/stamped/silk screened and the piece itself is thin, light-weight and feels rather cheap. I have a few other Orchids pieces which from a quality standpoint are superior, so I have to wonder if this is genuine. Any insights? Thanks!
