Hi All,
I picked up a few mugs recently; one I've never seen before and the other I'm unsure about.

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!

Aloha LOLOLLOLOLOLOL :D

Oh my, those 1st ones are choice "Pony Express" Mugs probibly from Party City, the 2nd is for real too & they are very light weight so that when you throw it it pops! when it breaks. "Quon Quon" also makes that very mug & your others may be "Quons" they are not marked on the botton but by a pull off foil sticker that reads "Quon Quon"

I have to ask, I watch your posts & Ooga Mooga collection & all those wonderful pic's ...all 4,000 of them & have to wonder not to blow your jig here but LOL I don't buy it LOLOLOLOLOL :D Have fun with your collection
