This is a black Tiki mug with a big nose, a bow-shaped mouth, and a triangle on his chin. There is some resemblance to the earlier "Smiling Big Nose Tiki Mug" put out by Otagiri, but definite differences as well. Advertised on the Poolside Pineapple website as being available in 12 or 20 oz and in white, black, purple, green and violet glaze. This is the black. The New Frontier operated from 1942 until 2007 and its long history included being host to Elvis Presley's first Las Vegas appearance in 1956.
