Please identify this Moai decanter !!!

Bought this at a collectibles event recently. I have no clue as to who made and distributed it or when. It's not a Jim Beam! Has remnants of an achohol license label and the cork is still inside. It's 12 inches tall and pings like porcelin. No makers markings.

Thanks for any replies.

MAhalo!

Tis a brave man who wears the kilt in January.

That is a decanter made by Strikow. They were used by Kaluha. I have one with a cork and one with a plastic rounded top with the Kaluha lable still on it. I've also seen them in Black. THe bottoms of mine read

It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stock market beat; but the man worth while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat

TurboGod has the markings right on the button. I'd like to also add that these were out before the 1960's as I have two that are dated 1958. Now that's an era I'd like to go Tiki shopping in!!

It is one of my all-time favourite modern primitive designs (BOT p.186) and was also used for table lamps, concrete lawn statuary and even for a Tiki Motel statue.
