Tiki Mugs
Pukiki Signature Tiki Mug - First Edition - Brown - by Bai - for Pukiki
in 1 collection
This is a full-body tiki mug with round eyes, figure eight mouth, and playing a ukelele.
Pukiki is a tiki bar on the Portuguese island of Madeira (est. 2016), which is in the Atlantic Ocean, about equidistant from the shores of both Portugal and Morocco. The bar celebrates Madeira's historic connection with Hawaii: Portuguese emigrants from Madeira and Azores went to Hawaii in large numbers starting in the late 1800s to work the sugarcane plantations. The strong thumbprint of Portuguese culture remains in Hawaii today, most notably the ukulele, an instrument brought to Hawaii from Madeira. "Pukiki" is what these settlers were called by the native Hawaiians.
This mug is their signature tiki and the mug was sculpted by Bai.
Their Facebook posts state that the shipment of this first batch of mugs from the manufacturer resulted in much breakage. It is uncertain how many made it from this first batch...

Hotei Bowl - Brown - for Pyrat Rum
in 0 collections
Medium sized brown bowl surrounded by 3 Hotei figures and marked for Pyrat Rum on front.
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 mug put out by Pyrat Rum at the same time.

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").
