The mug they currently use has the blue paint on it. The Mai-Kai's mugs have evolved -- or devolved --over the years. The early mystery drink bowls have larger and more well-defined tikis on them, and the Rum Barrel had more pronounced lettering on the side. Could be their ceramic molds became worn with use, but one of you potters would know more about that than I would. Holden's Tiki Fram has done some great work re-creating their classic mugs, as well as a repro of the elusive Mai-Kai decanter. They'll be available at the Hukilau from what I understand.
