Got this mug a few weeks ago at an antique fair in Oakland. The seller said that he thought it was a hobbyist mug. I wasn't sure but I really like the mug, great colors and seemed like an early version of or inspiration for the Tepco or Harvey's Hula Girl mug.
Then the other day, in a posting discussing a photo of the original Trader Vic Kava Bowl, DustyCajun Posted This picture from a 1944 Life Magazine article on Trader Vic...
The Fog Cutter Mug in the 1944 image struck me as very familiar...
Sure looks like it could be the same mug to me but I'd appreciate peer review... [ Edited by: Aquatic Safarinaut 2011-03-01 11:16 ] [ Edited by: Aquatic Safarinaut 2011-03-01 11:17 ] |
