Marquesan Tiki Mug - For Undertow and Hidden Harbor Collaboration - Hidden Harbor Edition - by Eekum Bookum
in 1 collection
From Hidden Harbor:
"Debuting this Saturday at 5 p.m. is the Harbor-specific glaze edition of our collaboration mug with UnderTow in Phoenix, designed and made by John Mulder of Eekum Bookum. Only 100 mugs were made in this limited glaze combination, including a dozen or so with a metallic-gold fish, randomly sprinkled throughout the run.
John's design nods to the nautical themes present at both UnderTow and Hidden Harbor and takes the form of a Gulf Coast dock piling that's been carved in the manner of a Marquesan-Tahitian tiki support pole at historic Polynesian restaurants like the Mai-Kai, across the state in Fort Lauderdale.
As fate would have it, John and his team in St. Pete finished up this project right as Hurricane Helene was bearing down on Florida’s west coast. We know that the Tampa Bay area now faces a long road to recovery from the destruction of the hurricane, as does much of the Southeast, and in an effort to assist in our small way, we will be donating a portion of all proceeds from sales of this mug to the American Red Cross’s hurricane relief efforts throughout the affected area."
