Kona Kai Blue Velvet
in 2 collections
This Tiki mug has large slanted coffee-bean-shaped eyes and an open, toothless, mouth. Inspired by a Tiki at La Mariana. A friend of Gecko's said there was a similar one in the back of the old Chicago Kona Kai bar (carved by Leroy Schmaltz of Oceanic Arts and pictured on page 142 of The Book of Tiki). So he named the mug for Kona Kai. Made in Oahu, Hawaii. This is the limited edition blue velvet glaze.
Hawaiian Warrior
in 1 collection
This is a head mug shaped like a Hawaiian Warrior with headdress. It is glazed in gunmetal gray.
Johnny Sens Kon-Tiki Mug Tall
in 2 collections
The design of this mug is borrowed from Thor Heyerdahl's Kon Tiki boat, which used the design of a South American sun god, Kon Tiki. Forehead has three sunray-like dashes, lips are two horizontal lines. This mug appears to be copied off of the OMC Kon-Tiki Mug Tall, but is lacking the repeated vertical line pattern on the face. It may well have been designed for home hobbyist use after the earlier Kon-Tiki mugs. Reads "Johnny Sens" and gives year on base at back.
