GWAR Mug Blue Wipe Glaze
aka GWAR Mug Fourth Edition in 1 collection
This is a mug featuring a skull with eyepatch topped by a flying eyeball. It has a blue matte glaze with black wipe and some white details. This glaze edition was preceded by a black wipe glaze, a red wipe glaze, and a green wipe glaze.
GWAR is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1984, composed of and operated by a frequently rotating line-up of musicians, artists and filmmakers collectively known as Slave Pit Inc. Easily identified by their distinctively grotesque costumes, Gwar's core thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology which portrays the band members as barbaric interplanetary warriors, a narrative which serves as the basis for all of the band's albums, videos, live shows and other media.
The GWAR mug is available at their Richmond location and through their online store.
Dragon Mug - by Otagiri - for Dragon Lite Bar & Restaurant
in 0 collections
This Otagiri dragon design was used by Joyce Chen and several others. This version is marked from the Dragon Lite restaurant in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Dragon Lite was started in 1963 by the same family that started Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee, Massachusetts and Dragon Lite is still in business as of 2024. However, the interior has obviously undergone extensive remodeling in the recent past and probably looks much different than it did in the 60s.
