Just picked up this four face bowl. It is in the style of the Orchids of Hawaii one but the faces are the same color as the body. No marks. Would anyone know who made it?

Here is a typical(?) peanut hiball mug I picked up but can't seem to find its match on Ooga Mooga. The bottom is unglazed. No marks. Who made it?

Looks like a Quon Quon tiki mug.
The sticker looks like a foil "Made In Japan" sticker that has been 'washed' off.

PD, Thanks for responding. It does look like the Q-Q peanut mug but there are differences. No jewels in the eyes. Softer teeth. Also the label is a garage sale label...75 cents. Of course that doesn't mean it's not Q-Q.
Duncan Hobbyist has a lined peanut on OM. Maybe they also had a non-lined one as well.

New stuff:
Raining Maori tourist art the last few days
I ran into a friend at the swap meet last week who was "downsizing" his tiki collection. I went to his house and tried to help him out by "upsizing" my Maori collection a bit:
Grabbed two more at Don's International Tiki marketplace, and then another at the swap meet this morning
Another swap meet one:
Hobby mug:
What's the ooga mooga official name for this one? I never found one before.
Framed Maori cloth piece. It's a little water damaged.
Giant, new Los Angeles Steamship Co Art Deco styled print:
The frame is 3' x 4'.
Buzzy Out!

Buzzy, I think the Maori cloth piece is a tea towel. I've seen quite a few New Zealand tea towels available for sale on etsy.com. Some, like yours, are really cool looking.

I know they're still making these, so it's not a huge score, but you can't get them with the Kahunaville/ Treasure Island imprint any more.
 
Instead you have these things, which is just sad.
When my wife and I stayed at TI, we went to Kahunaville a lot, because, well, Frankie's wasn't just downstairs from us right? I picked the Poolside Pineapple up off Ebay because a) I'd never seen it before, and b) it's a place I've been. Well, and c) I thought the white would be a nice contrast in my collection.
It's a shame they switched over to the plastic monstrosities. Any one have any idea when they did that?
