One, I have two of the Tepco "Trader Vic's" skull mugs, but they only say Tepco, US, China, nothing about TRader Vics. Also, I have one that's white rather than the standard off white, with no marking what so ever. The detail is much crisper as well, as though it was a first generation mold, or it was not as heavily glazed. Any one know anything about these mugs? Also, I have one of these, and as the title suggests, it's small. Today I just picked up two that look to be the same mug, same clay body, same glaze, but much larger, and I'm not finding them on Ooga Mooga.Any one have any ideas? Any photos of the mugs you are asking about? It may help pin down some info.
