Tiki Dreams Mug - Artist Proof - Ocean Turquoise - by Woody Miller

aka Tiki Dreams Mug - AP - Ocean Turquoise - by Woody Miller in 1 collection

This mug is modeled after a Barney West tiki carving that lives out front of Trader Vic's in Emeryville, California.

Woody Miller was commissioned to create these mugs for the "Tiki Dreams: From Far-Away Fantasy to Pop-Culture Phenomenon" exhibit at the Napa Valley Museum in Yountville from May 20th - December 31st.

Curated by Baby Doe & Otto von Stroheim of Tiki Oasis, this exhibition illuminated California’s leading role in creating and defining Tiki as an American pop-culture phenomenon, showcasing artifacts from Northern California Tiki bars and restaurants, many of which had never been exhibited before. Works by contemporary Tiki artists were also featured, celebrating the movement’s enduring influence and exciting future.

*This mug is a unique artist proof in ocean turquoise glaze. The regular edition was glazed in a wood brown with red interior.
