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 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
