I found this mug at a flea market. It has a "Quon Quon - Japan" sticker on the bottom which looks old. Does anyone know anything about it, the company or it's age? Thanks! |

Thanks, FF. I had seen that, but was thinking more in line with the age of it, and anything else. Thanks, though. :) |

stray piece of info - a contemporary version is available as the "JEWEL-EYE TIKI" http://www.tikitoys.com/cgi-bin/TKTstore.pl?user_action=detail&catalogno=TM094 or did you already know that... |

More trivia on that mug design: In my brief, anal-retentive quest to figure out how to tell actual Orchids of Hawaii mugs from their descendants, I chatted with Myriah Bates of Myriah's Polynesian Bazaar last year and she told me that her supplier for the the "jewel-eyed tiki" was a Dallas-area company called Zoo Piks, and that they had just gone out of production. I was surprised that Dynasty Wholesale was not the supplier as they seem to use most of the old OoH molds. [ Edited by: tikijackalope on 2004-06-16 02:45 ] |
