The underside has the inscription, "JAPAN MADE FOR TRADER VIC" Here's another photo from another collection :down: It appears to be one of the rarer mugs out there. I've also been educated that the Fitz & Floyd three-footed Nautilus comes in a larger size. Here's a photo of two of the large-size models next to the smaller version like I own, with a volcano bowl insert for size comparison:
