Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

Anyone seen this one before? Nothing on Ooga Mooga. It features 3 round-headed tikis supporting a large roundish bowl. The tikis and the outside of the bowl are rough and unfinished. The inside of the bowl has a brown glaze. This bowl is large at approximately 9" wide (tiki to tiki), with each tiki at about 5 1/2" high. Sitting next to a similarly designed Orchids of Hawaii bowl, it is MUCH larger. The bottom reads "Kahala Hilton, Terra-Ceramics, Hawaii" and is not dated. The Arkiva Tropika website shows a menu for the Hala Terrace at the Kahala Hilton in Honolulu. The menu has a drawing of a rum punch served in "The Menehune Bowl" (for $1.80!) that may represent this bowl. I couldn't find anything on Terra-Ceramics. I assume this bowl is from the 60's or 70's but maybe it's more recent?
