The Kapok Tree opened in December 1957 near an already-popular tourist attraction, the huge kapok tree on the outskirts of Clearwater. The restaurant's popularity grew until four similar restaurants were opened across Florida. Then in 1988 The Kapok Tree filed for bankruptcy. All but the Clearwater restaurant closed, and it too succumbed in 1991. The Clearwater location was known for its Outrigger Room featuring a full sized outrigger canoe on the ceiling and several hanging masks. They issued a few different pieces of glassware (including a hurricane glass, bamboo glass, and shot glass), but this souvenir glass with its logo and type font with tropical flower in red is from the 1980s.

A tan Tiki head shaped mug with citronella candle included. Came in a boxed two-pack. The Tiki has a grimace lined with straight clenched teeth. Wood grain lines on exterior.

This coconut shaped mug is glazed a glossy brown and is marked "Haegar U.S.A." on bottom.

This mug is modelled on a Marquesan Crown headdress. There's a thread about its design process on the Tiki Central forums. White glaze inside and out with black painted details on the Tiki faces and brown around the banding. Came packed in a museum stickered cardboard crate, and with it's own museum label.

This Tiki mug is very similar to the "Warrior Tiki Mug" from Daga and has a Tiki with gritted teeth, small almond-shaped slanted eyes, and a "V" design on its forehead. Brown glaze with white interior and yellow drip glaze around top rim.
