I was watching that one myself. A very interesting mug, but it quickly reached a point to where I didn't bother bidding. (Looks like a couple of guys got into a bidding war and they both got sniped at the end.) I'm guessing it's an OMC or Orchids piece, and curious as to why it drew such a high price.
The one full Tiki Mug does come up on Ebay ever so often and is in a few peoples collection. One you can find for sure. But that second Fogcutter type I can say it is a very rare mug as I have never seen one before either.
It's not in any books that are available nor has it been shown here anytime that I can remember. The mug is very cool and has crisp details and comes from a place there is very little information about.
Also a rare mug as it has not been seen with any other establishments name on it. Oh, and also not in the OMC or Orchids catalogs. I would say it is OMC anyway but not 100%. They made some very nice Fogcutter mugs this style for other restaurants.
My two bits.
