PopTiki P-13D Deluxe Tiki Surf Club Mug
in 2 collections
This design was inspired by a Tiki mask that was seen on the box for the Revell model of Ed Big Daddy Roths Surfite. While easily overlooked, the mask above the sign announcing the Tiki Surf Club had a unique look. This mug was produced in a standard and a deluxe version. This deluxe version features the same dark brown mottled glaze as on the standard, but when fired a second time with the black, red and yellow accents, the glaze develops a different character. Like the standard version, this mug has a clear glaze to let the natural color of the stoneware show through.
The Gold Eater
in 1 collection
This is a stone Tiki holding open its mouth to reveal a golden skull. This is a massive sculpture weighing in at 7lbs. The Tiki and the removable skull are made of high-fire ceramic and the skull is coated with real gold glaze. Ever since its 1794 discovery atop VanTiki Island's highest peak, this mysterious gold eating mug-within-a-mug has driven men to murder and madness! Sir James Tillburg was the first to suggest that the treasure guarded by The Gold Eater is, in fact, not the solid gold vessel within its mouth - but a cave full of riches hidden away on VanTiki island. For over 200 years treasure hunters such as Sawtooth Jack and adventurers like Lord Smiddly have attempted to unravel The Gold Eater's secrets.
