Territorial Tavern Sweet Okole Bamboo Mug
in 2 collections
This yellow bamboo-shaped mug was manufactured for the Territorial Tavern in Honolulu. It is marked "Sweet Okole" on the front and "Territorial Tavern" on the back and has the double P for Polynesian Pottery on the bottom. "Okole" is a word used by locals to mean "butt" and the mug has a graphic of a woman's butt inside the "O" of "okole" to make this clear. In the 60's & 70's, Territorial Tavern was home to some of Hawaii's great entertainers, such as Booga Booga, the Beamer Brothers, Country Comfort, Anuenue, and Sunday Manoa. The Beamer Brothers (Keola Beamer and Kapono Beamer) had a well-known song called "Sweet Okole" which probably inspired this mug.
