Asking for a friend with too damn many coconut mugs/cups of various sorts... ;)

The wiki entry for coconut shell cups covers earlier/pre "tiki culture" uses of naturally fashioned cups, and doubtlessly the British navy's hard drinking sailors further contributed to the whole "using real coconuts as a drinking vessel" around the world...

but I'm interested in getting some info on the variations of vintage (pre-90's) ceramic coconuts out there... such as:

• Which location started using ceramic coconut mugs first and about when?
• Which are the most sought after by collectors?
• What are the most common variations and who produced them?

I dug through several coconut threads here too (sadly, with mostly expired image links that probably held a few great examples) and of course there's a ton of specific "coconut" tagged items to see at mytiki.life, but no general overview of ceramic coconut cups that I have stumbled across just yet...
