Hiwa Sheba - Limited Edition - Lava Flow - Black with Orange Interior - by Jeff Granito - for Tikiland Trading Company
aka Hiwa Sheba in 1 collection
From TikiLand Trading Co.:
"Hiwa Sheba “Lava Flow” is an edition of 60 tiki mugs with the choice of vintage Swarovski crystals eyes in colors Aurora Borealis or Heliotrope, and are signed by Jeff Granito. These sold out earlier today to TikiLand Mug Society members. We didn’t know it would be so popular and thought we’d have some available to sell in a general on sale. Looks like we should have made more. Mahalo to everyone for your interest and support on this one."
From Jeff Granito:
"Hiwa Sheba, produced by TikiLand Trading Co. It was Inspired by the black tiki idols with rhinestone eyes that I would collect as a kid in Hawaii. I wanted to play with the idea of good and bad luck associated with black cats, so one side signifies bad luck (look for the number 13 hidden in there) and good luck on the reverse side (with a happy face and a four leaf clover tag)."
The mug holds approximately 24 ounces, is 9.75” tall, and has a nice solid weight of 1.9 lbs.
*Not to be confused with the Hiwa Sheba First Edition that has a black exterior as well as a black interior.
Swinger - by Eekum Bookum

From Eekum Bookum:
"I’ll be releasing my upside-down pineapple Bob inspired mug that I named 'The Swinger' next Saturday 25 June in Palm Springs Ca. It’s the weekend of Mucho Caliente and Rory has me scheduled for 5 pm right before yacht rock. I’ll have 50 of these beauties with me for that weekend."
