This is a mug shaped like a sunken Tiki head with a rootball top, open mouth lined with teeth and tongue out, small pushed-up nose, almond-shaped eyes. The base of the Tiki is encrusted with coral and sea life, a shark circles around the side of the mug from rear to front. This mug was produced in a two tone wiped glaze; the bottom half of the mug is wiped black, the top of the mug is wiped blue. The interior of the mug is glossy blue. It was manufactured by John and Janet Mulder of Eekum Bookum and is based on one of the original Caliente Tropics Tikis — a Tiki which still stands on the grounds of the hotel today — that was carved in the 1960’s by Ed Crissman.
