From TikiLand Trading Company:

"The Dodge Hula Girl Lamp tiki mug is a piece of functional tiki art inspired by the original Dodge Hula Girl table lamps of the 1940s—sculptural, playful, and full of presence.

Those original lamps are admired for their graceful posture, expressive character, and warm sculptural quality. We’ve been drawn to this form for years and knew early on that translating it into a tiki mug would require patience and restraint rather than a quick adaptation.

This piece has been in development for a long time. Over the course of several years, we worked through multiple sculpt iterations, mold tests, and glaze experiments, refining the form again and again. Some approaches were abandoned entirely; others brought us closer to what the piece needed to be. What you see here is the result of that long process—a considered reinterpretation shaped by persistence, revision, and care.

Each Dodge Hula Girl Lamp tiki mug is produced in-house at Laguna Studio, our ceramic studio in Laguna Beach, California. The work is carried out by our team, led by ChanTiki, using artist-made molds and traditional slipcasting techniques, followed by extensive hand-finishing. Every mug is cast, cleaned, fired, glazed, and refined by hand. While the form begins in a mold, the finishing is where each piece becomes its own. Variations in glaze and surface are a natural part of the process and ensure that no two are exactly alike.

This mug holds about 16oz (varies slightly mug to mug), is approximately 11.25 inches tall, and 5.25 inches wide."
