There are at least two sizes, and I've seen them glazed both green and matte/gloss (I don't recall ever having seen a blue one, but they could very well be out there). On page 34 of T.Q. the green one on top is shorter and wider at 3"tall, 4"wide and is marked "Mini Mai Tai Kuo Wah restaurant San Francisco". I think there may have been other places that had them custom imprinted also. The matte/gloss one below is 3 1/4"tall and 3"wide (same as the green Islander tikicleen posted). Ours is marked on the bottom in black "import by otagiri co" (rather than the foil sticker) on the bottom, no restaurant name. Like Tiki Leilani, people dismiss the classic "peanut" Tiki, but I think it's a great design and I love the variety of colors, and bars that you can find it from. The only fully glazed version I've seen is the Hawaiian Inn one we have—does anyone have any others? Like Doctor Z's barrel mugs, it would be cool for folks to post all kinds of variations of the peanut mug in different colors and from different locations.
