Image from eBay and sold high to the one who's name shall not be spoken. Ok here is my Idols cast mug from Kahiki. See a different marking on the bottom. Ceramics by Hoffman "Kahiki" is scratched in and has a brown color in the scratching some have no color. I for get what this pic is from. But see no brown "Kahiki" just scratched in. Here for reference... I think one way to guess what markings are oldest is to find other Hoffman pottery and look at the markings of the stuff that is not tiki, then try to see if there is any hint as to these being older stuff. Jeff and I did interview eric Hoffman but he was very young at the time these were made and did not have a ton of info really. [ Edited by: tikiskip 2017-11-17 16:19 ]
