This mug is faithfully crafted after the Aloha Jhoe's mascot Duk-Duk. Aloha Joe's was a well-known tiki bar and restaurant in Palm Springs in the early 60s.

Aloha Jhoe's was created by Lyle R. Wheeler, a prolific Hollywood Art Director who won Oscars for his work on Gone with the Wind, Anna and the King of Siam, The Robe, The King and I and The Diary of Anne Frank, and was nominated another 24 times (many years, against himself). Wheeler was an Art Director on South Pacific four years before the opening of Aloha Jhoe's.

Duk-Duk is a secret society, part of the traditional culture of the Tolai people of the Rabaul area of New Britain, the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea, in the South Pacific.

This mug was released at Tiki Caliente 15, May 2nd-5th, 2024, at The Caliente Tropics, Palm Springs, California, United States. It was designed by Doug Horne and sculpted and manufactured by Eekum Bookum.

This mug is shaped like a rolled-up map held by wooden ring with bird handle.

This is the in-bar only version with plain handle that was purple.

There were 4 other color-ways of this design, including orange/green, blue, red, and turquoise/green. Painted bird handles were also made.

From Latitude 29:

"This passionate purple stunner, standing approximately 8.5 inches tall and holding about 18 oz, is priced at $195 and is ONLY available at Latitude 29."

This bowl is based on the decorative concrete railing that surrounds the property of the Hotel Valley Ho.

Originally opened on December 20, 1956, Hotel Valley Ho stands as a mid-century modern icon in Downtown Scottsdale.

Architect Edward L. Varney was commissioned to design the buildings. With offices in both Arizona and California, he was one of the wealthiest architects in the Valley. Varney was known for his minimalist, modern style.

From Katiki Classic Mugs:

"This Maori No.1 tiki mug measures in at 7 3/4 inches tall and hold 16 ounces of fluid. This mug is modeled after a vintage New Zealand tourist carving from my personal collection dated September 1972. In keeping with the vintage theme, each mug has authentic agoya shell eyes that are vintage dead stock from a defunct New York button factory dated 1956. Mug is glazed in matte brown with black highlights. Sculpted by Mike Biggs of Biggs Tiki."

This design originated under the original brand of Tiki Classics in 2022, but has been re-branded under Katiki Classic Mugs, marked "Katiki" on bottom, and issued in new color-ways. It is slightly smaller than the original.

The Chimp in Orbit re-creation mug by Kon-Tigo Tiki Bar is an incredibly tall and narrow bright yellow mug with black pin stripes that effects a sort of rocket ship of a drinking vessel. It is purely cylindrical with no physical differentiation between the front and back.

The original Chimp In Orbit was used at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in the 1960s-1970s and this recreation of an otherwise super rare mug lends to a fun and bizarre drinking experience.

Sculpt and Production by Kon-Tigo Tiki Bar.

This mug came with its own special tribute recipe, reportedly quite strong and including amongst other ingredients -- 4.5 oz rum, banana liqueur, and gardenia mix.

To make the original 1960s recipe Chimp in Orbit: 1 1/2 oz Gold Puerto Rican Rum, 1/2 oz Orange curacao, 1/2 oz Creme de cacao, 3 oz fresh lemon juice, 3 oz fresh orange juice, 1 oz red vermouth, 1/4 oz grenadine

This is a mug featured like a figure wearing a Papua New Guinea Abelam Mask with real fringes hanging down from the ears.

From Trader Vic's:

"The Spirit Of Abelam is more art than mug. Designed by Gecko of South Sea Arts. Gecko brings the masks of Papua New Guinea to life with this creation.

This mug stands 13 inches tall so stock up on some long straws!"

This tall brown tiki has red, yellow, and turquoise accents and holds a drum in front. It is modeled after the tiki in Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room which is flanked by monkey drummers on either side.

From Tiki Diablo:

"We love a theme!

This beauty stands 12 inches tall and about 4 inches across the bottom

All made and hand painted by us.

It's really more of a statue but you can absolutely drink out of it, just add a lot of ice.

Try not to put him in the dishwasher, if you can.

No more than 300 will be made."
