With the above example of the mug having NOTHING in common with the swizzle or the plate, your M/S/P method appears flawed. I can't help but veer again away from the initial implication of your thread, determining the big ten by these three utensils only. To prove what was a grand Tiki Temple, my methodology centers around the Tiki logo, no matter on what medium it was reproduced...which in the case of the Mai Kai would be the Tahitian Cannibal Carving: They were put to use on the sign, the menu, on fabrics, the coasters, as table lamps and as carvings in the restaurant. The repeated appearance of a specific Tiki icon on utilitarian items is of greater importance than the type of item. Respectfully, Professor S.A. Kirsten
