Its almost the spitting image of a orchids of hawaii bamboo style tiki mug but its made by the Sylvac companycould this be a new Brit-tiki tiki mug or for once is a vase just a vase?

I know the lack of tiki in the UK is a hardship, but 25 pounds for that? Too much, I say! On a brighter note, have you typed the word SEPIK into Ebay lately?

Also I think that this is one time that a vase is just a vase but probably a rip-off of the hawaiian orchid mug. But those tribal masks, yes sir those are great I love that headhunter style, they could make the perfect halloween costume one of those masks, a gourd on me tadger and a allover mud mask.
