Now that it sold, who made this mug and for where or what??
Just curoius...

It comes close to the Sam's Seafood crypto mug, but it ain't it:

Pretty globby fella that guy, not exactly a masterpiece of vintage Tiki mug design.

Looks like a Spurlin to me.

Here's a similar, though not exact one:

Could be Spurlin. Here's another variation on the glaze posted by Jonpaul on the Crypto-mug thread, along with a picture of the mug in the Hanalei menu from San Diego.

I was thinking Spurlin when I saw it too, but also thought possibly Daga or Polynesian pottery..
Here 's a picture of the bottom from the auction as well..
