Double Headed Moai Kava Kava Mug Kilauea Sunset Style Crawled Glaze
in 1 collection
This double headed mug has the body of an emaciated man and both its heads have large round eyes, long ears, and skull like grimaces. It stands on a small block shaped pedestal. Based on the original wooden carvings made on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). This is the Kilauea Sunset Style which has gradations of red at bottom that gradually turn to yellow at top. This version of the Sunset Style has a crawled glaze. Crawling is where the molten glaze withdraws into 'islands' leaving bare clay patches. In this case, the bare patches are black underneath. One half is more "molten" than the other in this case. Black lava pedestal.
