eBay: vintage ceramic tiki mug

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.

thanks sabu!! as always-- great info.

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..
