C. Martinu Taringa
aka. C. Martinu Tangaroa Mug
This is the same design as the 'Taringa' mug - versions of which have been labelled as Arte 4, Porcelanas Pavon and Kon-ID. However, this one differs slightly in that it has an all over light-brown glaze rather having a white interior. It has a mark on the base which is possibly 'MV' but it could easily be 'NW' or 'C-something' or any combination of these, or merely a logo or petroglyph symbol and not letters at all. Hmmm.

C. Martinu Taringa
aka C. Martinu Tangaroa Mug in 2 collections
This tiki mug was manufactured by C. Martinu in Spain. The mug is shaped like the full body of a Tangaroa and is on the realistic side, with wood-grain look and brown exterior glaze. The tiki has arms clutching a rotund belly, small nipples, and stout little legs. This design was later used by Arte 4 and other manufacturers.
