Unauthorized The Tikinator
in 7 collections
This large mug was originally designed by popular surf artist Rick Rietveld for Tiki Farm, but this is an unauthorized and inferior copy by Mornsungifts. The mug features a large tiki head with Maori-style markings, wearing sunglasses. "The Tikinator" is in raised letters down the back of the mug. According to Holden at Tiki Farm, this mug design holds the record for highest sales volume which is probably why it was picked to be duplicated. The original version was manufactured by Tiki Farm but this is an unauthorized version with distorted details that was sold on e-Bay and through several wholesale bar supply stores online.

Sailor Jerry Ltd. also produces a 92 proof spiced Navy rum.
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum Hula Girl Mug
in 6 collections
This hula girl mug is based on the vintage Orchids of Hawaii R-80A Surfer Girl mug. However, since the surfer girl is replaced with a hula girl with ukulele, the waves read more as billowy clouds in the background. These are hand-painted and some of them are a bit rough as far as the painting is concerned. Mostly white with blue (or green) around top and bottom and sides of waves/clouds.
