None of the early Donn beach menus I've seen depict ceramic. Trader Vic patented his original skull mug in 1939. I've also been wondering who devised the first communal tropical/tiki drink. once again I think it was Trader Vic. Many are photographed in the 1944 Life Magazine article, search books.google.com for Victor Bergeron or Trader Vic. Certainly the first famous one is his Scorpion Bowl. When did a Don the Beachcomber menu include a communal drink?
