The Cobra's Fang mug was originaly created by Surlin's Ceramics in Lynwood, Ca in the early 1960's and sold by Oceanic Art. After Sprlin's retirement production production on these mugs resumed at Nonamax Ceramics in Baldwin Park, CA. The molds then went into storage in the 1980's and due to requests Oceanic Art has commissioned and new run of 100 mugs in the original green glaze and 10 in an antiqued finish. This new run was produced by Danny Gallardo.

This green mug was designed by Oceanic Arts. It is shaped like a coiled cobra. When the mugs were originally produced, they were not a big seller. Bob Van Oosting recalls marking them down to 39 cents to clear them out. The molds then went into storage in the 1980's but, due to requests, Oceanic Arts commissioned a new run of 100 mugs in the original green glaze and 10 in an antiqued finish. These new 2013 runs were produced by Danny Gallardo (Tiki Diablo).
