Tahuata Marquesan Tiki Mug - First Edition - Ochre - by Flounder - for Tiki Farm
in 11 collections
From Tiki Farm:
"Tahuata is another one of our many Scott 'FLOUNDER' Scheidly designs. With easily over 25 designs-to-date since our inception back in 2000, Flounder has been at the design-helm here, as well as so many other wonderful and hugely collectible mug designs! Scott’s style with us has varied from our far-out Robo Tikis ('Tron the Beachcomber' and 'Radar Vic'), to more traditional designs, such as Tahuata, that you see here.
Tahuata comes at you with a bit of a twist… perched upon a skull, perhaps stumbled upon in a remote Marquesan jungle, Tahuata surveys all that he sees from this eerie perch!
Glazed in a beautiful rich hued stained ochre glaze further enhancing its exotic jungle vibe, Tahuata is commanding with a significant 25 oz. capacity!
Imbibe… and enjoy.
Artist: Scott 'Flounder' Scheidly Height: 7 13/16 inches Capacity: 25 oz."
Discovery! Polynesia Map Mug - First Edition - by Ken Ruzic - for Tiki Farm
in 19 collections
From Tiki Farm:
"Inspired by the concept of a rolled up scroll map from the days of nautical lore, piracy and treasure maps, the Discovery! Polynesia Map Mug was designed by none other than Ken Ruzic!
Ken's inspiration for the map part of the mug are the countless murals and art of Miguel Covarrubias (1904-1957), some of which are featured inside the covers of the Book of Tiki.
This is a noteworthy and special mug and a necessary part of any serious Tiki Mug collection, not to mention a great piece of conversation!

We had the pleasure of working with Doug Horne in a collaboration on the piece of art that inspired this mug. Limited solely by Doug's imagination, we asked him to create his own representation of a traditional tiki while remaining true to his signature and unique style."

From Shima Ceramics:
"The Kitsune is a trickster fox from Japanese Folklore with godlike powers. This mug is the second in a series of Japanese Demon mugs.
This is a very limited edition mug. Only 80 will be made in total. This edition, the 'VS' (very special), with classic Kitsune coloring will be an edition of 50. It has a matte finish on the outside, gloss on the inside. Machine wash safe but hand wash encouraged.
It is a large mug, holding 30 fluid oz, and measuring 8.5 inches L x 6.25 inches W x 5.75 inches H.
NOTE: The 'super matte' glazing effect is achieved by using no glaze (white) or underglaze (colored), which is more susceptible to scratching/staining/chipping than other glazed finishes. Please handle accordingly.
Like all Shima Ceramics mugs it is produced 100% in house, in Port Costa CA. The original is sculpted by hand, not 3D printed."
