Tiki Mugs
The Guardian - by Moore Monsters - for Home Aloha Company
in 3 collections
This tiki mug is shaped like a giant and weathered stone tiki statue with a row of stone steps leading up to it -- a glowing fish float held in its hands.
From the Home Aloha Co. website:
"After your long and arduous journey, lost in the dark jungle, a beacon of light, beckons you. You have successfully arrived at the Guardian Idol.
Created by an ancient race, this represents your passage to safety. Only those who possess the key may pass though this sacred doorway.
GUARDIAN IDOL Mug features a waterproof 'fish float' style green LED light, the sacred key (which doubles as a bottle opener), sticker, and cocktail recipe.
This mug will be an initial edition of 100 in this weathered stone glaze, with green vine accents, and a fern green and yellow wash interior. Hand glazed by artist Jim Moore, each one will vary slightly, making them all unique. We will be releasing these 50 at a time.
The GUARDIAN IDOL Mug by Home Aloha Company. Sculpted and manufactured by Jim Moore for Moore Monsters."
Smiling Tiki With Hands - by Noya Ceramic Design
in 2 collections
This mug by Noya Ceramic Design is crouching with his hands in front of him and one hand on his knee touching his teeth and the other hand on his forehead.
The sculpt is highly influenced by Squid's 2002 "Stumpy" mug which was used for the 2002 Hukilau. However, the hand-painted detailing is very detailed, whereas "Stumpy" was produced in solid color-ways.
This "Smiling Tiki With Hands" is hand painted with underglaze paint. After it was painted, the piece underwent a three day firing process that allowed it to become food, microwave, and oven safe.

This is decanter shaped like a female tiki and with a cork topper shaped like a flame.
From Tiki Farm:
"Sven Kirsten designed this lava-textured example of female power. Inspired by a wooden statue that was located at the defunct 'The Tikis' theme park, it translates to the Pele rising from the erupting lava flow. He published a photograph of this particular tiki in the Book of Tiki, page 187. He and Tiki Farm are delighted to offer this open edition for everyone to enjoy. It measures 14 1/4 inches to the tip-top of its red flame topper. Sven describes this piece being an 'object of desire' and a highly-stylized mid-century Tiki art at its best!"

This ceramic "object of desire" is highly stylized mid-century Tiki art at its best!"
