Sea Mine - Red with White Stripe - by Munktiki Imports
in 4 collections
This is a bowl shaped like a spherical naval mine.
Munktiki Imports produced these in blue, gray, platinum, or red glaze.
These naval mines were self-contained explosive devices placed in water to damage or destroy surface ships or submarines. Unlike depth charges, mines were deposited and left to wait until they were triggered by the approach of, or contact with, any vessel. The nubs around the spherical body are termed "Hertz horns" (maybe because if you touch them it hurts?).
These explosive vessels are 6 inches tall, hold a massive 40oz to share and are $50 each.
Designed by Miles.

Bobbi By The Sea Mermaid Mug - Limited Edition - by Eekum Bookum
in 7 collections
In 1908, songwriter Terry Sullivan — who penned a number of catchy ballads for British music halls — wrote the following tongue-twister:
"She sells seashells on the seashore, The shells she sells are seashells, I’m sure, For if she sells seashells on the seashore, Then I’m sure she sells sea shore shells."
John Mulder was inspired by this famous tongue-twister to create Bobbi, the Bobble-headed Sea Mermaid who is holding a shell for sale.
First released at a Meet and Greet signing event at the 2022 Inuhele.
The back base of the mug features a sea turtle and seagulls.
Pumpkinut Jack - by Jungle Modern Ceramics
in 2 collections
From Jungle Modern Ceramics:
"Up for sale is a classic Jack-O-lantern with glossy black interior. It was thrown on the potter's wheel, altered to a pumpkin form, and hand carved.
While I may repeat color schemes and designs, each one of these is unique and one-of-kind.
Pumpkinut Jack Details
- One thing I want to point out about these, is how the black liner glaze breaks thin over the lip and some of the high marks on the interior, where my fingers created little ridges from pushing the clay in and out. That's all, thanks for looking.
*Measures approximately 4.25 inches tall x 5.25 inches wide and holds about 30 fluid ounces.
- Wheel thrown, altered, and carved.
- Light stoneware
- Mid-range fired to cone 5"

*Measures approximately 3.25 inches tall x 5.25 inches wide and holds about 24 fluid ounces without the hat. With the hat, it measures 7.5 inches tall x 6.5 inches across the rim of the hat. If you'd like to drink with the hat on, the top is open for a straw. The lid also sits inside the lip, so be sure to account for some liquid loss if drinking with the hat on.

Floral Tapa Coconut Mug - Classic Brown Edition - by Jungle Modern Ceramics
in 1 collection
From Jungle Modern Ceramics:
"Up for sale I've got some of my wheel thrown and hand carved coconut mugs with a tapa style floral design.
This is the first batch in classic brown and I'll have a batch of baby green available this Sunday, along with some other new color combos.
A few quick notes:
- On average, these measure about 3.75 inches tall x 4.5 inches wide and hold an average of 16-18 ounces.
- Your piece will be very similar to, but is not the exact one pictured.
- Due to the wheel throwing and hand carving, each one is a little bit different.
- FYI, on average, these will be slightly larger than the Marquesan coconuts that are available and this one is a little more matte.
- For multiple purchases, I will do my best to match them with the inventory I have available. *Signed in the clay."
Kon-Tiki Commemorative Mug - Tikiland Trading Company Edition - by THOR
aka Kon-Tiki Raft Mug in 17 collections
In 1947, a journey across the great Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands took place on a rustic, hand crafted, raft led by Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl. With a raft named after the Inca god "Viracocha", the brave crew set out for an adventure of a lifetime! Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have, by sail, reached Polynesia during pre-Colombian times. His aim in launching the "Kon-Tiki" expedition was meant to prove that. This mug version is sculpted by a different "THOR" you all may know (Tom Thordarson).
Tikiland Trading Co. took over the production of Thor’s in-house produced Kon-Tiki Commemorative Mug. Thor made minor tweaks to the size and color of the mug, which are hardly noticeable from the mug that Thor originally produced (waves now appear more green and less blue for instance). These limited edition mugs are first being sold to the people waiting on Thor’s original 2019 waiting list. Only a small number of these mugs were produced by Thor in-house (which were sold in 2019).
This edition of the Kon-Tiki mug was released in the fall of 2022. The 75th Anniversary Kon-Tiki Commemorative Set from Tikiland Trading Co. also includes a drink recipe card for a rum based “Raroia-Noku”. Tikiland also included a signed and matted print and and COA both signed by Thor. Cost was $245 and a $5 deposit.

It is a Lono tiki head that incorporates the Samurai "Mempo" facial mask imagery and features a Samurai sword on the reverse stabbing a fish (inspired by vintage OMC Samurai Grog Mugs and also alluding to this being a sushi establishment).
This darker Indigo Blue Edition was initially released in part at the September 2022 Kahuna Tiki Tu Marketplace. Still available as of November 2022 on location at the restaurant.
