Hab-i-tudes Tiki-Kona Lantern in White Leather
in 2 collections
This is a stoneware Tiki lantern with a metal hanger/handle. The mouth, eyes, and a tossed box pattern around the top are open to allow light through. They were made in Jordan Blue, Mystic Green, Cafe Brown, Crystal Yellow, and White Leather. This is the White Leather version. Designed by David Bishop. The Tiki-Kona Lantern was followed by the Tiki-Maui Lantern (2013). It has the same color selections. The designs are similar but not identical. An easy way to distinguish between the two is by looking at the mouth. The Maui lantern appears to be smiling while the Kona lantern is not.
