Frankoma War God Brown Satin For Cultured Pearl
in 10 collections
This tiki mug was created by Frankoma Pottery for the Cultured Pearl in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hefty mug made of red clay with a beige glaze overlay, of an angry tiki face with large teeth. In about 1971, Joniece Frank became friends with two men who were starting a small Polynesian restaurant in conjunction with an after-hours club called The Cultured Pearl. With the encouragement of her father, Joniece made a few of the old Club Trade Winds items - perhaps 25 or so of some of the smaller items. Both the restaurant and this association were very short-lived, and items with The Cultured Pearl marking are very rare.

Coco Joe's Volcano Mug
in 2 collections
This unusual mug has long been attributed to Coco Joe's, more famous for their lava and resin tourist tiki pieces. More recently, some have claimed that this mug was issued by a bar in the Pacific Northwest (which is more plausible since Coco Joe's in Hawaii was not known for ceramics but for resin products). This mug is shaped like a volcano, with a handle on the side. Glaze is a sort of gray-brown, and there's a red-orange glazed interior with black speckles. Red translucent glaze is dribbled down the sides. There is a small pocket on the inside near the rim, to hold a bit of 151 rum to light the volcano. Marked "Coco Joe's" in recessed letters on the front.
