It's unique for sure. I was gonna ask about the weight, it looks like a brick from your photos. Ive got one or two that are hefty, like tepco quality & a group of others that are lighter/thinner construction that feel like hobbyist quality. Either way, thats has always been one of my favorite mugs & yours is a doozy! It looks like it sat on some kinda base that likely held a candle to keep the drink warm? thats the only way i can explain the crazy circular cutout underneath... Seeing stuff like this brings out the tiki geek in me. Im practically giddy over here! You're in New Jersey? Did you find this in your area?
