Tiki Mugs
Hotei Mug - Brown - for Pyrat Rum
in 2 collections
Hotei is the figure on the medallion on every bottle of Pyrat rum. The roots of rum trace back to early Asia, where scholars agree the first distillation of sugarcane juice was produced. And so, the history of rum is very much the history of sugar in Asia and Hotei honors Asia’s preeminent and important role in the origin of this popular spirit.
The Hotei monk is the patron saint and Zen protector of fortunetellers and bartenders. This socially enlightened mystic, often considered the god of contentment and happiness, is always depicted with a cheerful smile, a bald head, and a portly belly. Ancient scrolls tell of Hotei’s fondness for libations and he is commonly seen carrying a large cloth sack that never empties, from which he gregariously dispenses food and drink and other treasures.
There was also a matching bowl put out by Pyrat Rum at the same time with three of these Hotei figures as supports.
Daikoku Mug - Green - by Tiki Farm - for Pyrat Rum
in 2 collections
Daikoku is one of the Seven Lucky Gods and his images are found in temples across Tibet and China. He is a household deity in Japan and often considered a god of wealth or kitchen god. This mug shows him carrying his magic mallet. This mallet of plenty can miraculously produce anything desired when struck. Some Japanese say that coins fall out when he shakes his mallet.
Daikoku is an interesting choice for this Pyrat Rums mug since their normal mascot is Hotei but they are similar characters with portly physiques and magic items that dispense treasure.

Max's Mo'orean Marquesan - Limited Edition - Carnelian Red
in 3 collections
This is a limited edition of 60 with each one numbered on the bottom.
Designed by Max’s in-house ceramicist Jerry Berta (“Bertiki”), this mug is based on a wood carving at Max’s South Seas Hideaway that comes from the French Polynesian island of Mo’orea. They added some extra detail in the sculpt to make the lines pop, then came up with a glaze as close to the original carving as possible (a deep carnelian red that Gecko and other ceramicists sometimes refer to as "Maori Red").
Hale Pūkaua MOTU Three-Piece Mug Set - First Edition - Green with Antiqued Gold Accents - by STARR TIKI
aka Castle Grayskull Mug Set in 5 collections
This is a three-piece mug set that when grouped together forms a castle very similar to Castle Grayskull from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe story franchise.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an American animated television series produced by Filmation based on Mattel's toy line Masters of the Universe. The show, often referred to as simply He-Man, was one of the most popular animated shows of the 1980s. The franchise has since spawned a huge cult following and resulted in further toys, collectibles, television series, a film, annual convention and much more. Castle Grayskull is a fortress located on the fictional planet Eternia and was a pivotal part of the franchise, having been issued as a playset in the 1980s and serving as a great topic of mystery and machinations in the extended storyline.
Hale Pukaua MOTU is perhaps from an alternate reality where Castle Grayskull was turned into a tiki bar. Some subtle tiki elements decorate the castle, such as a glass fish float in the eye and hibiscus flowers around the ram skull on reverse. It also features the STARR TIKI logo on the reverse. The three mugs included in this set fit together together for display but do not actually interlock. The left and right mugs have indents that allow the center mug to sit into place.
This mug set is STARR TIKI's first foray into the mug manufacturing world. Designed and produced by Jesse Starr. It was designed as a pre-order of 150 pieces on July 12th, 2020 and orders began their first delivery in December 2020.
