This mug is a tribute to Arthur Snyder. Art was the co-owner and proprietor of the beloved Don the Beachcomber Restaurant in Huntington Beach, CA. The mug design is also modeled off of the vintage & current Donn Beach (founder of Don the Beachcomber) head mugs. Earlier versions of this tribute mug were produced in brown or green glaze. Nine of this "Custom Deluxe" version (with the highest level of attention paid to multicolored detail) were made by Crazy Al out of 18 of this design glazed personally by him. Of the 9, only 5 were made available for public sale. These Custom Deluxe versions show Art in a pale blue shirt and with blue eyes. Delicate shading and gloss glaze over entire piece.
