This mug is made by Garnet McCulloch at his Fireworks Studio pottery in Glasgow, U.K. He calls it the 'Missionarys Downfall Small' in his 2012 tiki mugs catalogue - because it's used to serve the Missionary's Downfall cocktail at The Tiki Bar and Kitsch Inn in Glasgow. It's 7" tall and 3" wide. Holds about 15oz. Looks like a cruder version of the classic Orchids R-72 moai mug. Note: there is a larger version of this mug which looks similar but is much wider and holds about 25oz of drink.

Stylized moai design in a brown glaze, with coffee-bean-like eyes, nostrils, and lips. Vertical "dashes" are indented into the mug all over. Based on the "Orchids of Hawaii" "R-72" design but more crudely fashioned. Used to serve the Missionary's Downfall cocktail at The Tiki Bar and Kitsch Inn in Glasgow. There is also a larger version of this mug that holds 25 oz.
