Ole 2 Face - Fifth Edition - Valentine's Day Edition - by Eekum Bookum - for Tonga Hut in Palm Springs

in 2 collections

The mug has two identical Moai faces, one on the front and one on the back of the mug. "Tonga Hut" is written on one of the sides and "Palm Springs" written on the other side of the mug.

The first edition of this mug design was made for the September 29th - October 3rd, 2022 Tiki Fever event in Sarasota, Florida -- glazed in orange and limited to 50 mugs. It was not the event mug -- that was a large vessel modeled after the structure of the Bahi Hut itself. Hurricane Ian canceled the event, so the release of both these mugs was postponed.

The second edition Ole 2 Face mug was glazed in green and limited to 100 mugs. The green edition was released during the 2022 Circa Caliente event on October 14th, 2022 at Le Fern restaurant in Palm Springs, CA.

The third edition in blue was released a month after the second edition on Sunday, November 13th, at Tonga Hut, Palm Springs. The blue edition was also limited to 100 mugs.

The fourth edition (Christmas Edition) of Ole 2 Face in green was released at Tonga Hut, Palm Springs on December 11th, 2022. The Christmas mug also had a red interior and a sprig of holly (dark green leaves and red berries) on each side of the mug.

This fifth edition (Valentine's Day Edition) of Ole 2 Face in red and pink was released at Tonga Hut, Palm Springs on February 14th, 2022.
