Hey Jenn,
The mug you are asking about was often sold as part of a set of six. If you look at page 178 of Sven's Book of Tiki there is an image of the "Hawaiian Six Pack Tiki Mugs".

Those mugs can be found commercially made, in addition to hand made and glazed by folks who used the mold sold through Duncan Ceramics (a supply house that sells molds and glazes to the hobby and craft ceramic shops). The Duncan mugs feature at least five different faces (two different on each side of the mugs).

I think it's fairly uncommon to find one with the Paul Marshall label, that's why that mug is included with the other PMP mugs on that page in Tiki Quest. I don't have a set of the commercially produced mugs in thier original box, but I think Fatuhiva does, maybe he can shed some light on who may have produced or marketed the "six pack" set.
