There are more out there for liquor decanters but I didn't think they fit the theme of the thread. First up a stemware glass made for Trader Vic's by Morgantown Glass. Dated 1958. Closeup. Patent drawing for Trader Vic"s skull mug dated 1939. Produced by Tepco. Though some may not consider this design a true Tiki mug the early patent date puts it in the running as one of the earliest mugs designed for a Polynesian restaurant in my view.
