You can see a blue version on the spine of "Waikiki Tiki: Art, History and Photographs." I'd say you did good whatever the price. Polynesian Pottery did that mug as well as the one koolau posted. I'm pretty sure both molds are by Adele Davis. Waikiki Tiki; Art, History, and Photographs. Available now from Bess Press Hawaii. [ Edited by: Phillip Roberts 2011-08-10 23:40 ]
