When a direct bootleg copy is done you loose almost all the details and the copy is about 10% smaller due to slip shrinking.. ...compare the pmp mug to the hobbiest version. Until somebody admits to owning a Tiki Trader Beachcomber mug so we can see what the differences are, I'm now happy to assume all of the mugs are original, just that they all came from some over worked molds.
