When they were using the Trader Vics markings, when they just used the Tepco, etc. I'm also curious where the white ones fit in. Seems like the majority are the off white color, but I've seen some of the white ones on Ooga Mooga as well. On the other part of my question... The drip glaze skulls. My understanding is that no one knows who made them? Over the last week, I've found several items, that while not tiki, were interesting to me because they seem to be not only the same glaze, but more unusaly, the same clay body. You don't usually see a red clay used in these sorts of ceramics, so it's got me thinking these we're all made by the same company. Also, my small mug has a foil sticker that says "A Mark L exclusive". Any ideas on that one any one?
