A lot of people count this mug among their collection. It even made it into Tiki Quest (pg. 62). There's no doubt that its design is based on Pacific Northwest art, I think specifically Haida. You can find coffee cups, tea pots, cream & sugar containers, and who knows what else with this design. I'm also reminded of this thread from a while back:

I can't seem to get the photo in questions to come up, but it looked like Witco's version of this type of art, if that ever happened.
