Thanks to Flo for letting me take photos of her Ti Toki collection.

Larry Hadley has identified the shorter dark green bottle as made by Kermiko.

At each end is an Orzel Ti Toki and the tall one is a Hobby Ceramics one.
It has an interesting glaze that looks like wood.

The base is blank and the green is closer to that of the photo with the label.

Larry Hadley kindly replied with this information:
Hi there Anne, we manufactured Toki bottles for over five years for three different owners of that company. The volume on the earlier ones were 750ml . This was changes to 5ooml for two reasons, a cost saving and the fact that the weights and measurers department started having spot checks to ensure the volume inside matched the label.We checked the volume on every 10th bottle. The black painted eyes were changed from paua to black as a cost saving . The liquor was manufactured in a winery a block away from our factory in Henderson. There was a small domestic market,hence there are not many survived in NZ, until they started exporting to Japan. We were then manufacturing runs of 700 bottles a month. From memory in the mid 90"s. Hope that helps cheers Larry
