Identify this Hula Girl Pedestal Bowl

Hi Guys,
New to posting...long time lurker! :) Just wondered if anyone could possibly help me identify this. I'm thinking it might be Tepco based on the material.
Thanks so much!!

There's a pic of the same bowl in Kohalacharms's collection toward the bottom of this page:

It's sandwiched between the two Gremlin bowls which are from Trader Vics, so I'm guessing this is a Trader Vics design as well. I know I've seen discussion on it somewhere but can't remember what thread.

Very beautiful old (1940s?) piece indeed and very rare. I've never seen one before. I would have to agree with Trader Tom in that it is most likely an early Trader Vic's piece. And my guess is that it's most likely Tepco. Here is an early Trader Vic's Tepco piece:

Your bowl seems to match the quality of the Tepco mug.

Amazing piece and thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for the info and confirming what I thought, I really appreciate it.

Face looks similar...

My first guess would be Trader Vics also, I have one like it but a different background.

A-ha! I just remembered where I saw it.
