Tiki Mugs

This is the third Meso-American design collaboration by Jacob Medina and Tiki Shark (preceded by Kaan Took and the Jaguar Warrior). It portrays a gargoyle-like bat sitting atop what appears to be an Olmec or other Meso-American inspired head.

Camazotz translates into “death bat” in the K’iche language. "Camazotz" is formed by the words kame (which means death) and sotz (which means bat.)

This design was produced in a bone and in a blue open edition. A limited number of each were signed. Additionally, there is a limited edition of this design (using both the bone and blue mugs) that is hand-painted in variations of turquoise and red detailing.

This is a mug modeled after the character of Sloth, from the 1985 film by Steven Spielberg, The Goonies.

Sloth is the youngest member of the Fratellis gang, and is usually kept chained in their basement. He is 6' 8" and muscular, but disfigured and has trouble speaking.

Later in the film, he makes friends with a young Hawaiian-shirt-wearing boy, Chunk, who is a member of "The Goonies". The Sloth character mug (in blue) was sold as a set with the Chunk mug (in red).

This is a mug modeled after the character of Chunk, from the 1985 film by Steven Spielberg, The Goonies.

Chunk is a 14-year-old boy, and as his nickname might suggest, he is chunky. He wears a Hawaiian shirt, plaid pants, and sneakers.

His signature dance is the "Truffle Shuffle", where he pulls his shirt up and wiggles in place while making a number of ridiculous and embarrassing noises.

Later in the film, he makes friends with the fearsome Fratelli brother, Sloth. The Sloth character mug (in blue) was sold as a set with the Chunk mug (in red).

This mug by Noya Ceramic Design is crouching with his hands in front of him and one hand on his knee touching his teeth and the other hand on his forehead.

This "Smiling Tiki With Hands" is hand painted with underglaze paint. After it was painted, the piece underwent a three day firing process that allowed it to become food, microwave, and oven safe.

This bowl is supported by three tiki figures that show the progressive Tahitian Cannibal motif (hunter, catcher, digestor). The interior features a skull stack that acts as a volcano reservoir to light on fire (using overproof rum, or lemon or lime extract).

From Bosko's website:

This ceramic "object of desire" is highly stylized mid-century Tiki art at its best!"

This mug depicts the rising hand of The Creature emerging from a sea bed with small shells and starfish. The hand is holding a more traditional tiki mug.

This was a limited release of 200, each was hand numbered and signed by Pete Klockau.

This mug is based on the main character from the Disney+ Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.

The Mandalorian is basically a science fiction version of a Paladin/knight in shining armor. He lives by a set of rigid codes, one of which is never to remove his helmet. In the series, he becomes the protector of Grogu (often referred to as The Child or Baby Yoda) whose literal blood is sought after by the evil scientists of the old Empire who wish to make force-sensitive clones for their dastardly plans. The Mandalorian dresses in special armor made from Beskar steel which is from his home planet and is resistant even to direct laser blasts or hits from a lightsaber.
