I.D. Hallmarks on Face Long Mustache Mug

[anthology-of-treasures]

Anybody recognize the hallmark(s) on this face mug?

We have a stronger mark which looks like  "69" or yin and yang mark.

Then there is a much fainter round mark that did not photograph well. Rather than breaking out the lens extenders I opted inside to use a bit of never dry kid's hobby clay to make an impression. LOL, this stuff was made in the 1960s and its still pliable. The center symbol look similar to a menorah.

Broke out the lens extenders today and camera remote to get a better shot of the hallmarks. Ended up using the 20mm Kenko extender on the standard Canon 18-55mm kit lens. Not bad considering its a quick indoor shot.

Able to confirm its a COINER / DENEEN POTTERY piece (John Coiner & Peter Deneen) and likely dates from 1981 to 1984 based upon company information.
