A true celebration of San Francisco’s greatest tiki icons, the Suffering Bob mug marries Trader Vic’s Suffering Bastard (aka Mai Tai Joe) with Bob Bryant and Alec Yuill-Thornton’s Tiki Bob. Sculpted and produced in California by MP.
In May of 2020 there were 100 Suffering Bob Tiki mugs released.
Proudly produced in Santa Cruz, CA by Mikel Parton of MP Ceramics.
Later, on eBay, 13 glaze test mugs were sold.
To finish out the Suffering Bob line for Smuggler's Cove, MP created 25 Custom Carved Suffering Bobs, also for sale on eBay by MP.
The Suffering Bob stands 9" tall, 4" wide and holds about 32 ounces.
Auction prices vary. #2/25 Custom Carved Suffering Bob's in bone went for $405 on June 6th, 2022.
