Tiki Mugs

This is a lidded pineapple mug with a bit of a tiki face by artist Kelly Towles for Archipelago.

This brown volcano mountain shaped mug has "Aloah Luau Mountain" on a driftwood plaque on front and some red lava around the top rim.

Mugs were supplied to the Aloha Luau by Oceanic Arts and were made by Desert Ceramics.

This is a classic Ku dredged from the bottom of the sea with barnacles, brain coral, and a fishing net still wrapped around him. Concept by Martin Cate and sculpted by Crazy Al.

This version in "Golden Sand" glaze was released for 2022.

From Smuggler's Cove:

"Mug is approx. 8 inches H x 3.5 inches W and holds 20 oz. Each mug is hand-wiped with a second dark brown glaze so each mug is unique and there will be slight variations in the color and location of the second glaze."

This is a light yellow colored clear round glass ashtray marked in the center for Samoa House, based in Encino, California.

This is a later version of the Headhunter with a handle in back, possibly added to make it easier to hold and less fragile.

In an earlier edition, the mug had no handle and large hoop earrings.

There is also a version without earrings and a bone through the nose.

The glaze in all these variations is a muddy brown with yellow highlights that was used on several Spurlin pieces and is quite unique. The Los Angeles Islander menu shows a drink served in this mug called the "Coffee Grog" and this is pictured in Sven Kirsten's The Book of Tiki on page 163.

This is a mug in a classic "bucket" shape, with three tikis around the outside. Outside is unglazed tan bisque, interior and lip is glazed in deep brown. This version is marked "Samoa House Encino, Calif." on side.

In an effort to raise more than breast cancer awareness, but rather Breast Cancer hope, TikiGuy Studio is doing a limited run of 100 on their new mug “Hope with a Dash of Coconuts”. As you can see, the coconut bra is empty yet the pink color of the mug with the ribbon on the back signify hope.

From the Superstition Village Tiki Marketplace:

"Silently standing guard over the treasures hidden within Superstition Mountain, the Pukao Moai Mug was designed by @tikimaniacs, sculpted by Squid, and produced by @oakwash . Each mug includes a magnetically attached commemorative event coin, an Ao paddle swizzle stick, a custom cocktail recipe by Tiki Dan and an art card by Benjamin Burch. This is a limited edition of 150 hand numbered mugs. They will be on sale in person only at the Superstition Village Tiki Marketplace event on Saturday, September 24th at 10am."

From House of Tabu:

"As our Order’s chief archeologists continue their efforts to seek the history and mementos of our beloved society, they have recently announced a new and exciting find!

While the artifact found is in a primitive state, it nonetheless represents an important discovery. This new item adds to the mystique of the Order while posing new questions and eventually many a long night of research and libations. This monolith is emblazoned with the initials of our great Order on one side and the All-Seeing Eye on the opposite side. The Eye is supported by a sacred scarab and is embedded in the sands of time.

Our archeologists at this time can only surmise that this new discovery is the Seer of Untruth Monolith, hereunto unforeseen! This sacred vessel was issued to our fine Brethren who, of impeccable foresight and intellect, could spot shit from shinola in a heartbeat. Along with the chalice itself, those of this power of observation, were also awarded a special enameled pin, to announce to one and all that you will not be able to pull the proverbial wool over their eyes.

Also included is an all new Order of the Golden Fez membership certificate and card.

As we work feverishly in our Archeology department, we will endeavor to restore this artifact post haste, so that you, our trusted friends and confidantes, may too add this to your collection of the Order’s most coveted treasures.

Our mugs are handmade right here at the House of Tabu and we’re proud to produce them here in the USA."

This is a mug shaped like a blue shrunken zombie head with white stitches on eyes & mouth. Medium dark blue matte glaze with black wash. Designed by Tim Wollweber. Used to serve the Shrunken Zombie Head cocktail on the Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar menu (although "shrunken" was removed last year from Disney descriptions because of cultural sensitivity reasons and it is now just referred to as a "Zombie"), made with "reserve and aged rums, tropical juices, falernum and cinnamon". It was issued in September of 2022 for Trader Sam's Grog Grotto at the Disney Polynesian Resort in Orlando, Florida.

This mug is an homage to the classic Trader Vic's Suffering Bastard mug design which features a moai head squatting with its hands holding its temples as though suffering a terrible hangover. This mug is in the same position, but features a smiling tiki mask.

This is a square white ashtray/dish for the Barefoot Trader location in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. It has black graphics showing the A-frame building on location.

This mug is shaped like a blue naked warrior holding a spear and tiki shield. He has a bit of a dopey expression, bucked teeth, and a very erect penis. However, the mug comes with a tiki head "sheathe" that covers up the body of the warrior when needed.

From Munktiki:

"Brand new wacky work of art by Dexter. The Weekend Warrior! Endless hours of drinking giggle juice from this spring loaded fellow. Watch your mug get excited when you unsheathe his inner warrior. Please re-sheathe after the weekend responsibly.

Hand made in Astoria, OR by Dexter here at the Munktiki studio.

From Trader Jak's (Jacob King):

"PRODUCT DETAILS

Trader Jak's First Ever Mug! And it has a cool story!

In 2017, my wife wanted to surprise me with mai very own tiki mug... one that resembled me. So she got in touch with world renowned Tahiti Gil and he graced my wife with a sketch of my very own tiki... 'Mai Tiki.'

Unfortunately, it proved too difficult to have sculpted by a pro, so she tried to do it herself. I thought her attempt was cool, but she threw it in the trash. :( 5 years later, I came across Gil's sketch and took matters in to my own hands.

With the help of ADR Studios and some additional sketches by yours truly, we had a 3D model. After printing a couple of prototypes, I was able to get the sample in the hands of Ron House at House of Modern Antiquities where he put his ceramic skills to work and came up with some GORGEOUS glaze options.

THIS MUG IS LIMITED TO 50 PIECES IN THE BLUE GLAZE!

#1-50 WILL HAVE THE BLUE GLAZE SHOWN HERE. #51-100 GLAZE TBD. #101-150 GLAZE TBD. MAX OF 150 WILL BE MADE, BASED ON DEMAND.

NO ADDITIONAL RUNS BEYOND 150.

These are all hand made in America by House of Modern Antiquities, and quality control will be enforced. Every mug individually inspected. With that said, these are hand made, no two glazes will be exactly alike. Small imperfections in finish/detail are to be expected within normal limits."

From Pie Eyed Tikis:

"Details: - Tiki mug, capacity 16 fluid ounces - Limited edition; signed and numbered - Handcrafted, original 1 of 1 glaze / texture combination - Stoneware; Wood grain glaze exterior and glazed interior - Approximately 4.75 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide at base - Food and beverage safe glaze - Hand washing is always recommended for any handmade ceramic piece - Designed and sculpted by artist, Jason Vitril"

This version of Gumby is playing a ukulele and wearing a hula skirt and a makau (fishing hook) necklace.

Gumby is an American clay animation franchise, centered on the titular green clay humanoid character created and modeled by Art Clokey in the 1950s. The character has been the subject of two television series, a feature-length film and other media. Since the original series aired, Gumby has become a famous example of stop-motion clay animation and a cultural icon, spawning tributes, parodies and merchandising.

Beginning in 1982, Gumby was parodied by Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live. According to Murphy's parody, when the television cameras were turned off, the sweet Gumby reverted to his true self: an irascible, cigar-chomping celebrity who was highly demanding of the production executives. Whenever the executives refused to give in to his demands, Gumby would assert his star status by saying "I'm Gumby, dammit!" in an exaggerated Jewish accent. This parody sparked a revival of the character.

The Monkey Mug was produced for the Undertow takeover of False Idol on Friday, August 5, 2022. Undertow took preorders at the event and started shipping the mug on September 10, 2022. This is a limited edition mug and Undertow sold the mugs that were not sold at the False Idol takeover at their bar, starting September 20th, 2022.

Made by Trevor Foster Studio, the mug portrays a detailed Chimpanzee head and has the word Undertow across the back of the head.

Sandworms feature prominently in the 1988 American fantasy-comedy-horror film, Beetlejuice, directed by Tim Burton, produced by The Geffen Company and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The plot of the film revolves around a recently deceased young couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who become ghosts haunting their former home, and an obnoxious, devious poltergeist named Betelgeuse (pronounced and occasionally spelled Beetlejuice in the movie and portrayed by Michael Keaton) from the Netherworld who tries to scare away the new inhabitants (Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones, and Winona Ryder) permanently. The Sandworms are from the Forbidden Zone of Saturn and hunt and chase ghosts who are caught in limbo. They are also a riff on the Sandworms of Dune, which the makers of Beetlejuice were apparently fans of.

These mugs were a special SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) 2022 Exclusive but could also be pre-ordered, and start shipping in September 2022.

From the BG Reynolds Severed Santa Mug Kickstarter Page:

"BG Reynolds is back with a brand new kickstarter featuring a ghoulishly delightful SEVERED SANTA HEAD MUG!

BG Reynolds' Severed Santa serves tribute to one of the classic and rare tiki mug treasures, the Severed Head mug from Ren Clark's Polynesian Village. Tiki aficionados and mug collectors scour their eBays, thrift stores and estate sales regularly in search of the elusive head. While our Severed Santa may not be quite as legendary, we're certain it too could make people ask 'Why the hell would anyone make a mug of a severed head'?

Have your holiday gifts left you feeling detached? What better way to celebrate the holidays than the grim remnant of this cherished character sitting on your shelf. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe? Santa's ready for some action! Just one look at his visceral visage will have everyone saying 'I want to put my lips on that'!

Maybe you want to tell someone you don't like them? Why not slip into their house late at night while they're sleeping*, just as Santa would, and slip Santa's Severed Head under their pillow to let them know there won't be gifts under the tree for them this year.

• • Our lawyers advise that we need to pay our lawyers up front. They'd probably also say BG Reynolds does not condone or endorse breaking and entering.

As some of you may know, BG Reynolds makes some of the best mixers for your homemade cocktails. And for this kickstarter, BG Reynolds will be producing an extra special Severed Santa edition Hot Buttered Rum mix featuring a spicy kick, and a rich bloody red color that's sure to add some awe to your holiday cocktails. Look for it in our rewards, or add it as and add on!

Santa's gruesome grimace, with lolling tongue and thousand yard stare is sure to delight children of some ages. Just think, this could be great for your holiday budget, because with just one glance at this mug, your children may never want to celebrate Christmas again! And no gifts for Christmas is the gift that keeps giving every single year.

Our Severed Santa mug was designed by renowned and belovéd illustrator Dave Helfrey, and will be produced through the magnificent Munktiki Imports. His corpulent countenance will hold a warm and toasty 12 oz of Holiday cheer, sure to warm your guts in the dead of winter."
