Designed by Dino Fish Tiki (Darick Maasen) and sculpted/manufactured by Munktiki.
This one-of-a-kind artist proof was auctioned by Undertow in Phoenix, AZ.
A slowly evolving run of 100 of very similarly glazed versions was put out slowly a few at a time by Munktiki.
The AP is probably distinguished by markings on bottom.
The Limited Edition of 100 is described by Rich, from Undertow here:
"I conceptualized and collaborated with Darick Maasen to draw this mug in 2019 for Chapter Seven of the Captain Mallory Saga. Chapter Seven barely set sail before being cut short due to government shutdowns in 2020. The mug saw a very limited release in a large format produced by Miles Nielsen of MunkTiki, at that time the mug was named "The Brain Coral Skull" and sold for $200 each."
A scaled-down version in green, known as "The Last Remains of Timms" was issued in 2024, selling for $85 each.
1 Artist Proof that auctioned for $360 - although there was a small run of these (as many as 100) in a slightly different color-way at a lower price point of $200 each. Color was VERY similar, however, to the AP.
