Tiki Mugs
Suffering Banana - Rotten - by VanTiki - for Hidden Harbor
in 1 collection
From Hidden Harbor:
"We’re stoked to introduce our new 'Suffering Banana' mug, lovingly hand-crafted in Eugene, Oregon by the immensely talented VanTiki. A bushel of 150 of these beauties were picked for our big 6th Anniversary Party next Saturday, each of them hand-numbered, with a Chiquita-inspired 'sticker' fired into the mug itself (Henrik’s genius idea, with logo assist by Scott Sugiuchi).
Thanks to the glaze wizardry of VanTiki, our bushel of banana mugs includes a few under-ripe and over-ripe ones. Ten of each, in fact, randomly interspersed among the run of 150. You won’t actually know if you’ve gotten one until you open the box, but that’s part of the fun!
Here are the details. We’ll be releasing the first 100 mugs at our 6th Anniversary Party next Saturday when we open at 5:00 p.m., $185 each, strict limit of one per guest. If you pull a rare ripeness at the party and prefer the yellow, we’ll allow an exchange, but not vice versa.
Then, on Monday, February 14, we’ll be listing the remaining 50 mugs and any leftovers in our online shop, $225 each, limit one per person and household, with our usual anti-flipping policy in effect."
There were also 5 Artist Proofs created in various unique colors.

Mt. Monkey Business - by VanTiki
in 0 collections
From VanTiki:
"Ahhh - the power of glazes. They can utterly destroy a mug or make it grand! I just got off the glaze roller coaster with my Mt. Monkey Business mug. I wanted to do a deep blue with light blue velvet highlights (to set off a vivid red interior) and set to work with my trusty Amaco velvet under glazes. Little did I know that the deep blue 'fluxes out' (a term I just learned after a panicked bout of research) at cone 5 temperatures and envelopes everything with a dark blue glossy coat (totally erasing the light blue highlights). I was devastated when I opened the kiln. I spent some time wiring it up with my TikiFire Mark 3 flicker box - and it looked GREAT flaming away on our living room shelf - as long as the lights were dim and you couldn't see the glaze! What to do. After staring at it glumly for a week I called the good folks at Amaco to see if a second coat of glaze and a lower temp firing (cone 05) would be salvation or disaster. Their fab support gave me the green light, and I re-applied the teal blue highlights and sent Mt. Monkey Business once more into the breech. I can't tell you how stoked I was when I looked thru the peephole this morning! Wondrous velvet blue! Deep satin clefts! Ahh - thank you Spirits Of The Glaze!"
