Johnny Sens Tall Peanut Mug
in 6 collections
This Tiki mug has a sort of peanut-shaped body, with an aggressive sharp-toothed head, and lined end caps at top and bottom. It resembles a combination of the Orchids R-3 and the Treasure Craft Tiki mug. Many are marked "Johnny Sens N.O. L.A." on back near bottom. Likely, the mold got picked up and used extensively by other hobbyists afterwards. Glazed in a variety of colors.
