Here are three more variations. Two from the Fireside in Wisc. and one from the Tikis in Ca. The one on the left is from the Tikis and marked on the bottom. The two on the right are from the Fireside.The one in the middle is made by OMC. The one on the left is not marked by the maker and has the not so defined lips as the mug that Silverline found only in a smooth glaze. Thanks for the great post. That's a nice example of a Tikis moai you have there. The one I have was made late in the mold's life; so much so that you can barely make out the markings on the bottom. The glossy Fireside moai is interesting; I hadn't seen this version before. Looks like it was cast from a different mold; it's profile shows obvious differences from the other two. LOL Tiki!
