From TikiLand Trading Co.:
"This is a limited release of 15 mugs with this glaze and crystal combination. We may make some more, but as of now this is all there is and all there may be. Each mug will be signed by Jeff Granito. Eyes are vintage Swarovski crystals. These mugs have a black exterior and purple interior! Made in the USA at our Southern California studios."
“The history of thus mug - the original Hiwa Sheba (Black, 1st edition) was revealed in August of 2019 at Midsummer Scream, followed immediately at Tiki Oasis, and then was s old at Wonderground Gallery in Downtown Disney, in Anaheim, as part of Jeff Granito’s Artist in Residence, as well as here at TikiLand Trading Co. These originals were blind box colored jewel eyes. This mug has been released with multiple gem eye colors and types, as well as with white glaze, and our ‘graveyard’ black glaze, and a few other solid colors.”
“This mug holds about 24oz (varies slightly mug to mug), is approximately 9.75 inches tall, and has a nice solid weight of approximately 1.5 lbs.”
From Jeff Granito:
“I am so excited to introduce Hiwa Sheba, produced by TikiLand Trading Co. It was inspired by the black tiki idols with rhinestone eyes that I would collect as a kid in Hawaii. I wanted to play with the idea of good and bad luck associated with black cats, so one side signifies bad luck (look for the number 13 hidden in there) and good luck on the reverse (with a happy face and a four leaf clover tag.”
