Though the painting isn't as refined as the outlined hula girl I doubt it (or the ones posted above) is a hobbyist/home craft mugs, or at least it's not like any of the hobbyist mugs I've even encountered. It's heavy, has the high space in the bottom, and the glaze is of a restaurant use quality. The highlight paint also has the look of detail work quickly applied by a practiced hand as one sees in hand detailed production pieces. And a hobbyist would probably make sure the nipple was more distinct on her breast.
