Is a mug from a Chinese restaurant Tiki? And can it be called Chiki? :P
My recent finds have unearthed some Chinese mugs. Two are snake mugs from the Hilton International Singapore. The hats that the snakes wear have a straw hole. A cursory Google check did not unearth anything about these mugs.
I also found a Chinese dude mug from Peking Palace Restaurant. The 619 area code is a tip as to the date of this mug. 619 was introduced to northern San Diego county in 1982, and was later broken out into 760 in around 1996. So this mug likely dates from that period. The Peking Palace is still around in Oceanside
Also picked up six Orchids mugs for $4.00.
Did you find those at the Oceanside swap-meet?
