This mug was made by Bauer Pottery in 2019 as a test from molds they found in their facilities. The mug was originally designed for Disney, and this version still has the Copyright Disney stamp from the mold. There were only two of this mug made and sold, and both had this glaze. I saw them when I was visiting the Bauer showroom in September 2019 and had to have them, so I bought this one, and the Pele mug as well.

Disney Chanting Tiki Mug - Blue Green Ombre Glaze
in 1 collection
This mug was made by Bauer Pottery in 2019 after the molds were found in their warehouse. There are only two known to have been produced by Bauer in 2019, both in this same glaze that were tests of the molds and glaze, and they were sold in the Bauer showroom. They still retain the 'Copyright Disney' stamp from the mold. Copyright issues likely prevented Bauer from making more of these.
Original Mug Sculpt Description: Tiki mug based on the chanting tikis inside the Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland. Design adapted and sculpted by Disney artist Kevin Kidney. Four colors have been produced, the other three are green, teal, and purple. "Disney" imprinted in the mold on the bottom.
