The Big Sea Serpent was conceived by the design duo of Eric Rindal and Jon Ritt, two life-long friends of Crazy Al who are enamored with the Life Aquatic. Al was asked to develop and create a "tiki-mug" evoking the majestic and legendary Sea Serpent from the maps of pioneering mariners. This three-piece, lidded ceramic vessel set measures: Head (16 oz) 7.75” X 4.5” X 5” tall , Body (16 oz) 8.25” X 2.75” X 6” tall, Tail (3 oz) 2.75” X 2.25” X 7.2” tall. Holds 35 oz between all three pieces. This design comes in several color-ways, usually in unique one-offs or extremely limited small batch editions.
The red lava glaze (Mauna Loa's Minions glaze) was previously released with other Crazy Al designs in limited runs of 25. This, however, is a one-off using this glaze technique, called an artist proof but not really a proof as the glaze recipe had been perfected years earlier...
