I have one of those mugs. Maybe this was a potential design. It is very obviously slip cast, not hand built. I'd really like to find this Cindy person. I have a feeling she is the ceramist who created it, not just a hobbyist. It would be unusual for a hobbyist to create a mold for slip casting, unless there was a market for such things. If this was not officially sanctioned by the Kahiki, it would be unlicensed Kahiki merchandise which might have gotten Cindy in trouble.
