The bottom reads "The Islands, Pheonix Arizona". I have never seen this design used anywhere else before and I think that the 2Tone paint job is pretty unique. Does anyone have any info on these babys? Aloha, :tiki:

A set exactly like yours from The Islands sold on eBay about a year ago for $51.00. Also,very recently I noticed another very similar set with a slighly different glaze and marked Ren Clark's Polynesian Village sold for a very hefty sum. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3903320354&category=29460 By the way, do those tikis in your photo have 20 toes?

Aha, yah! That makes sense... I was surprised that they did not look like the logo Tikis from the Islands in Phoenix (BOT p. 155, and p.42), but more like the one from the Samoan Village, also in Phoenix (BOT p.156). But they are closest to Milan Guanko's Tiki at Ren Clark's place (BOT p.44), note the rendering AND the statue in the brochure photo next to "Polynesian Village." They probably addaed the ornamentation to these to make them look different.

ModMana, It does look like the little fellas have 20 toes. I'm not sure if that is some symbol which is supposed to bring the owner super fertility powers and command over all beverages mixed or if it is just a little quirk in the detailing around the edge. Either way I'm pretty stoked on the recent addition. They really stand out against all of the other brown and green mugs in the collection. Aloha, :tiki:

(this set is a bit grey/black, but most sets are pretty black) sven, I noticed the same thing- the tiki looks like the one from the samoan village, NOT the islands logo-tiki. weird. It also does look like a milan guanko tiki- and is very close to the Ren Clark's S&P, but has slight differences..
