From Smuggler's Cove:

"The Ward Warehouse held a special place in Gecko’s heart, a place where he and his family shared countless days and evenings of leisure, and where his son Kainoa performed hula with his halau.

Today he transforms that rare wood into fantastic works of art -- one of which is now proudly displayed at Smuggler’s Cove. As part of this commission, he also produced a matching highly detailed sculpt and master mold for our first collaborative special edition mug. The mold was shipped from Hawaii to Max’s ceramics studio in Grand Rapids, and was painstakingly brought to life by their exceptional team of ceramicists. Handmade in the USA, we are pleased to offer a matte brown limited edition of 100 mugs and a Super Deluxe Edition of 50 featuring red and yellow paint and bright red interior glaze.

The matte brown edition will be released at Smuggler’s Cove on Sunday, July 17th at 5pm for $200 each. Strictly one per household, and numbers will be randomized. Any unsold mugs will be sold online at smugglerscovesf.com starting at 10am PDT on Tuesday, July 19th. US Shipping addresses only, limit one per household.

The Super Deluxe Edition will be sold by raffle ticket. Raffle tickets will go on sale Tuesday July 19th as well. Winners will be offered the opportunity to purchase the mug for $275 and the drawing will take place on Friday, July 29th. US Shipping addresses only, limit one per household."

A mug shaped like the head of the legendary Kaupe. It is said that Kaupe in physical form appears like an enormous man, except he has a canine head and sharp claws. During his reign, Kaupe ate a lot of people. At one point, he went to the island of Hawaii and kidnapped the son of a High Chief and took him back to Oahu so he could be sacrificed. The father of this boy went to a Kahuna after arriving on Oahu. The Kahuna taught him incantations and a prayer which he could use if Kaupe was encountered. Then the father journeyed to the heiau at Lihue where his son was. He saved his son and they left. Later, Kaupe picked up on their trail. The father again said the prayer, seeing that Kaupe was on their trail. Because of that, he and his son ran a lot faster. However, Kaupe was quickly catching up, so the father said the prayer again. At that moment, he and his son found a big rock to hide behind. This confused Kaupe, for he thought the father and son fled to Hawaii. The father and son then studied how to destroy Kaupe and went back to Hawaii to go to war. They were victorious and killed Kaupe. However the spirit of Kaupe remains on Oahu to this day.
