Tiki Mugs

A green and white mug featuring a cactus with a Birdman Tiki carved into the front. Design based on the Birdman Tiki, carved by Barney West and erected in 1962, outside of Trader Vic's in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ.

This event mug was issued for the fourth annual Arizona Tiki Oasis, the twin event to the San Diego Tiki Oasis, and held on April 28th-May 1st, 2022. This was held at the Valley Ho resort (est. 1956) in Old Town Scottsdale.

The mug was issued with the "Deluxe Evening Resort Pass" which was a value of $200, and $100 more than the "Regular Evening Resort Pass" without mug, so initial value can be estimated at $100.

This gloss brown mug was designed by Philippe Tilikete for Tiki Farm. The mug has a tiki face with protruding eyes, a long and narrow nose and an open, circle mouth exposing its teeth.

This 2021 version is an all-new version of the original HULA'S Modern Primitive mug first launched back in 2009.

Created for the company as promotional give-aways as a run of 500 mugs which features their signature brand mermaid surrounded by sea life.

From Black Lagoon Designs:

"Meet one of my latest cocktail mugs - my Kewpie Dole! This mug was created from a love of all things cute but mostly for my love of DOLE WHIP!! Dole Whip is life! I hope you dig it.

They stand at approx. 17cm tall and hold approximately 300mls of your favorite cocktail OR mocktail! They are made by hand from earthenware pottery, lead free food safe glaze and love.

Hand wash only."

These came in a variety of uniquely painted versions/flavors -- pineapple Dole, raspberry Dole, etc...

Note: Kewpie is a brand of dolls and figurines that were conceived as comic strip characters by cartoonist Rose O'Neill. The illustrated cartoons, appearing as baby cupid characters, began to gain popularity after the publication of O'Neill's comic strips in 1909, and O'Neill began to illustrate and sell paper doll versions of the Kewpies. The characters were first produced as bisque dolls in Waltershausen, Germany, beginning in 1912, and became extremely popular in the early 20th century. Kewpies are basically wide-eyed babies with a twist of hair on top and this twist of hair parallels with the twist on top of a serving of frozen Dole Whip, so the mash-up between the two makes sense.
