I'm lacking in Pacific Northwest tiki knowledge, but that mug seems pretty rare. There's only one listed on Ooga Mooga, and I don't ever recall seeing it while trolling through eBay. As per the writing on the bottom, it may have been manufactured exclusively for Four Seas by Otagiri, which would make it even more precious.

By the way, Otagiri is the name of the manufacturer of that mug - Otagiri Mercantile Company (OMC). Try not to wash off that gold label - they're tough, but they will wrinkle and come off.

Maybe some of the Pacific Northwest TC members can fill in more info about the Four Seas. It is mentioned in a couple of threads here on TC, but not much detail was provided. Use the Search function to find out more.

A drink menu would help you know if there was a specific drink associated with that mug; if not, start with your favorite tiki cocktail and you're on your way.

Congrats on a very nice find!
