Shima Ceramics Tiki-Gorgon Limited Edition
in 1 collection
This mug depicts a "Tiki-Gorgon". Vaguely dog-like body with a head that open like the petals of some strange alien flower. It is also covered in carvings inspired by the Tā moko skin carvings of the Maori. Glazed in gray with a bloody drip coming from its maw and flowing down the body. The Tiki-Gorgon is inspired by the Demogorgon creature in the NETFLIX series, Stranger Things, which in turn was inspired by the Dungeons and Dragons demon character, Demogorgon. This demon was frequently mentioned in AD&D supplements, but always in a minor context. Manual of the Planes (1987) stated that he ruled several layers of the Abyss. This Limited edition Tiki-Gorgon consists of 100 pieces. There are also other Super Limited Editions consisting of 25 pieces each.

Yipwon Goldtone

The figure consists of several parts with the form of a bird. This mug features a tucked-in and modified, low-hanging "pompadour" inspired direction. The next part is a human male face, a long narrow nose, and a mouth puckered as if whistling. A protruding ridge runs from the top of the head and continues down to the chin, apparently indicating a beard. Oral stories from the Yimam culture state that this figure represents the hunting spirit in human form.
