Found some great pics of the Tepco factory from 1955.

TEPCO - Technical Porcelain And China Ware Company

And here we see the Tiki bowl being mass produced for the burgeoning Tiki bar explosion.

It places the Tepco bowl at least as early as 1955. I would presume this to be the blue Tepco Tiki Bowl - although it’s hard to tell in black and white :)

Off to Trader Vic’s!
