I bought these a little while ago on ebay, thinking they were beauce look-a-likes since they lacked the trademark on the bottom. However, I recently was informed by a guy in Quebec who sells Beauceware that many of their peices lacked the trademark or name printed on the bottom until after 1950. Instead of a trademark, they have three raised points. If one looks at a few non tiki Beauceware mugs on ebay, they in fact, lack a trademark and have the same configuration of three raised points instead! However, I'm finding it hard to comprehend that the Moais were made prior to 1950. Still, the marking on the bottom was common for Beauceware and it is unique enough that I don't think that anyone duplicated it.
