Pua’a Tiki Mug

erm, well... it's a whopping 7" tall and 3" wide with an all-over tan-coloured glaze. It was made by CheekyTiki in the UK - the base has the inscription "CT 01" - so it's either the first mug design they ever made, or was manufactured in 2001. Appears to be a crude representation of Ku and has a logo on the back which says "my". That's all I know for certain... I got it off eBay secondhand. However, I seem to remember (though my booze-addled brain isn't as good at recall as it once was) that I read somewhere that it was made for a short-lived intended chain of UK-based Tiki Bars called 'My Tiki' or something. Anyhoo they never really got of the ground and have since sunk without trace. A word of caution - this 'evidence' has to be taken with a healthy grain of salt - as I'm not from London and was never really part of that 'scene'. I s'pose I could chase them up at CheekyTiki and ask 'em about it but I'm not sure I can bothered... think I'll just make myself another Sidewinder's Fang instead...

Pua’a Tiki Mug

in 1 collection

This is a mug shaped like a standing tiki mug. He appears to be a representation of Ku with an upthrust chin, small pug nose with nostrils prominent, and belly button. Earlier versions appear to have been glazed in a lighter more tan/honey-brown glaze and later editions in a darker brown glaze.
