Tiki Beaver Mug

This is a unique mug that looks like a cross between a Hawaiian Ku and a Beaver. The brown glaze on this mug is rather thin while the white interior glaze shows signs of checking or crackeling. The bottom of the mug has the words "Tiki Trapper" incised in a rustic font. Probably produced by the Blue Mountain Pottery in Collingwood, Ontario, this mug was associated with the Tiki Trapper Restaurant located in Hamilton, Ontario. It opened in the late 1950s and closed in the early 1980s. I found this mug in a thrift/junk store near Ogsdenburg, New York. I had no idea it was considered "Tiki" at first...I bought it primarily because I like beaver.

This is a mug shaped like a tikified beaver standing upright with its hands on its belly. In addition to the prominent buck teeth, this beaver's toothy smile resembles a Ku Tiki.
