After a very long drought, I finally made a nice score today:

  1. A set of 6 Port Light glasses: I think these are the retail version, as there are no Trader Vic's markings on them. $20 for the set!

  2. A George Pisani two-faced "Tiki" decanter made for Arrow Liquors in 1960. This appears on page 155 of Tiki Quest, but after looking at it more closely, it's clearly a highly stylized representation of a court jester, as it's wearing a belled fool's cap. Oh well, it still looks Tiki Moderne enough for my bar.

  3. The smaller version of the Disneyworld Polynesian Village two-faced mug to keep my larger version company.

I have one ceramic port and one ceramic starboard mug marked Trader Vic’s. Inexplicably,one is quite larger than the other.
I also have that black and white “tiki” decanter which looks great on my barback.
Congrats on your finds, happy hunting!
