Seahorse Bowl - Brown Wiped Edition - by Bai - for Tiki Farm
in 3 collections
This is a bowl supported by three seahorses. Though the seahorse may appear as a cute little sea creature, in folklore it actually has a very powerful role. Seahorses represent eternal friendship, good luck, patience and persistence. In Europe, the seahorse carried the souls of deceased sailors, providing them safe passage and protection until they met their final destination. Around this bowl are strands of kelp and bubbles floating upward. The glaze is a wipe-away brown finish which gives good definition to Bai's sculpted details. This is a 2024 return to the first collaboration between Tiki Farm and Bai Tiki from ten years prior.
In 2014, Tiki Farm produced a pink and a greenish blue version. There were also uniquely marked versions for specific tiki bars like Three Dots and a Dash, Pagan Idol, and the Royal Hawaiian in Laguna Beach.
This 2024 revisit of the design offered three glazes: wipe brown, coral, and lime green (limited to 400 pieces in total) and the wipe brown sold out immediately upon the day of release.
