aka. Non-Otagiri Marquesan Moai, Large Bug Eyed Moai
Bought at Trader Vics Thailand in 2001 - the manager really gouged me on the price, but I wanted a Tiki Mug souvenir! Hey, I was on my honeymoon....

Modern Bug Eyed Moai
aka Non-Otagiri Marquesan Moai, Large Bug Eyed Moai in 18 collections
This is a copy of a vintage Otagiri mug. The mug is of a stylized moai, more narrow at the top, and having distinctive large, rounded eyeballs. The glaze on this mug is an even honey-brown, while the vintage version is two-toned, with beige overlaid with a darker streaky brown with a white interior and concave base.
