This mug is of the original Mr. Bali Hai, the mascot for the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego. This version has a flat base marked "Mr. Bali Hai made Exclusively for Bali Hai Restaurant San Diego, Calif" printed on the bottom. Mr. Bali Hai is an oblong head with a bone through the nose and large white hoop earrings, with sleepily lidded eyes (eyes are usually brown, sometimes blue). The mug comes with a lid with two straw holes. Face is slightly more slender than the modern reproduction.
