Kapu Ki'i Tiki Mug
in 8 collections
This mug is shaped like the stacked heads of the two famous Tikis which guard the Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau (Place of Refuge) at the Pu’uhonua national historic site. Kapu Ki'i was inspired by Scott's last trip over to the Big Island when he went to visit the Ki'i at Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. This Pu’uhonua (Place of Refuge) is where a criminal could go to seek forgiveness if they violated the Kapu and seek refuge there. Since the remains of the chiefs protected the refuge area, the warriors would not be able to shed blood on these sacred grounds of Pu’uhonua and so they would end their pursuit of the lawbreakers who found refuge there.
Bahi Hut Tiki Mug - Sunset Edition
aka Bahi Hut Cocktail Lounge Marquesan Tiki Mug Sunset Edition in 1 collection
This mug is styled after the two flanking 8' Marquesan tikis carved in 2017 by Jeff Chouinard for the refurbishing of the Bahi Hut and placed outside their front entrance. The Bahi Hut, built in 1954, is one of the nation's oldest tiki bars, and the oldest in the state of Florida. It is a totally intact mid-century tiki bar. Their mai tai is a notorious local legend and either folks love it or hate it because of its strength and tart taste. The glaze on this sunset edition is yellow at base and then transitions to orange in middle and darker red at top. Black interior. The back features the line art logo of the torch-lit sign, as originally drawn by famous illustrator and fine artist Thornton Utz and was on their napkins until the early 2000's when the original order of the napkins from the late 50's finally ran out. Below that is the name "Bahi Hut" in the driftwood logo from the front of the building.
