Kahakai - by Von Franco - for Tiki Farm
in 4 collections
From Tiki Farm:
"An 'oldie-but-a-goodie' is what we have for you here below in our NOS (new-old-stock) 'Kahakai' Tiki mug designed for us by the legendary lowbrow artist and ol’ pal o’ mine VON FRANCO! Now, Kahakai has been sitting in the rafters out back for a long time now and we decided to finally release him to the wild! This is very much an 'old school' design, harkening back to the earlier days of the resurgent Tiki movement we’ve all come to love.
So why not get yourself a piece of the past in the present day and pick-up a Kahakai mug to add to your collection. It will add that special touch that looks like a mug of yesteryear, but today… it’s a mug of today and a mug for you to enjoy.
Artist: Von Franco Original release year: 2015 Capacity: 14 oz. Material: Ceramic stoneware Height: 7 1/8 inches"
*NOTE: There is a brown pocket flask in the shape of this same Tiki head. It was also a promotional item for Kahakai Tiki Rum (based in Itasca, IL) and put out in 2015 at the same time that this mug was designed.
