Buzzy the Vanuatu mask is outstanding. Can you tell if the Tommy Bahama mugs are identical or different. I've always wanted to know if they were hand painted or some kind of a decal. They are the best looking mugs that I've ever seen produced in a mass quantity.

Jon, I love this tiki so much I printed a photo of it to inspire my work in the future. Great score.

Wendy, Hope you don’t mind me chiming in--I too am anxious to hear what the Buzzman has to say about the “Kimono Lady” mug.
I have one and imho they are hand painted and also have decals applied to the red dress. My wife disagrees. She thinks its entirely hand painted. She is usually right. I also have the Kimono Lady lamp. Almost exactly like the mug. It’s about half again bigger and there are no flowers on the dress.
Cheers
