I have seen many questions popping up regarding the jagged tooth style of tiki mug recently, and it seems that there is lots of trouble ID'ing them. Please add any pics & descriptions if you have 'em... :)

Here are the 3 most common varieties I have seen around:
The Libbey, Orchids of Hawaii, and Shonfeld's mugs

There is also a blue glaze version of the Libbey mug.

Below is the bottom mug detail:

The Libbey Mug name is raised lettering, the Orchids info is recessed, & the Shonfeld's info is printed on top of the glaze.
Often, especially after numerous washes, the Shonfeld's mug can lose the printed information on the base.

If you guys 'n' gals can come up with any other jagged tooth manufacturers or good stories on your own Jagged Tooth Tiki experience, add em in!
Cheers,
