This mug 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.
Instead of a root ball head, however, the top of the mug has a modernist bisected circle pattern - perhaps evoking breeze blocks or some other design element found in Palm Springs.
These came in several different color-ways.
Released at Sancho's in Palm Springs on Friday night, February 14, 2025 at 7 PM.
