Sven, I'll have to do a little better on the description end of things so the new folks have an idea of whats out there and what items were used for. Now from a small piece of china from Trader Vic's a soy sauce decanter. About 3" high and 4" long. No makers mark but looks similar to the one in the OMC catalog photo in Sven's post.

OK, Trav, you got me on board:

First, for general interest, some more pages from the OTAGIRI catalog, their Tiki mugs were just a small side business, they had tons of Japanese pottery and restaurant table decor that was non-Tiki:

What's so funny, huh!? :D

But back to the specific motto of this thread, Tiki restaurant china. I don't have much, I only picked it up as I went along, and I always thought it to be a bit nerdy to get into the manufacturer details....cuz I am NOT a collector nerd, ya know, no I ain't! :D

Aku Aku Las Vegas:

Islander, L.A.:


Trader Vic's:


This one is "fake", it's a contemporary souvenir plate:

Last not least, my Stephen Crane Kon Tiki tea pot!:


Now if we only could get Kate to post her wares, I think she has a bunch! :)
