But the above mug is clearly a North Pacific Indian mug, not made for a Polynesian restaurant, while the Hawaiian Inn one is a Tiki mug with North Pacific art influences. Trader Vic always had the excuse of being a Pacific TRADER, of course, and thus dealing in all kinds of Primitiva Exotica. While at the Butlin's Holiday camps' Beachcombers, the most likely reason to employ the totem poles seen below was the unavailability of Polynesian carvings. :)
