Tiki King Tiki Statue Mug Orange
aka. Tiki King 1996 Luau Mug
Original Luau 1996 Ceramic Tiki mug from Tiki King, 1st Tiki King mug ever! Was going through a box of Luau decorations and found one of these. These were my first attempt at making Tiki Mugs back in 1996. The glaze was not right, and the resulting crazing made them sweat, and they were called the "Leaky Tiki" mug. These were mentioned in the Tiki News Artist edition. Marked with the Tiki King autograph on the back, and "1996" around the base. On the bottom is "T.K. #17". Tiki King luau mugs are highly sought after due to the very limited production numbers. A piece of Tiki history!
