This is a small ceramic jug of rum with a skull and crossbones on front, labeled "RUM", with handle and cork. A few barnacles clinging to the sides.

From Lost Temple Traders:

"While we were hunting for pirate gold on a recent salvage trip, we came across an even greater treasure - 75 bottles of rum perfectly preserved by the ocean floor. Our initial goal to drink them ourselves proved to be daunting so we’re making them available to you.

Designed by SQUID, the Rum Jug Mug is a Limited Edition of 75. It stands 7 inches tall and holds 16 ounces of your favorite cocktail."

This is a riff on the classic Tiki Bob designed by Alec Yuill-Thornton. It features Bob with a Lowbrow Literati Professor haircut, glasses, and pipe.

From Lowbrow Literati:

"Behold Professor Bob! The only tiki mug that requires a FDA warning, because of its secret ingredient Fluzitrampamab (cough syrup). The mug stands at 6-7 inches tall and comes with pipe accessory. The mug was designed and handmade by Outl1n3 Island in Long Beach, California. This is a limited edition run of 50-100 and is individually numbered."

From Jeremy:

I’ve been working on 'Rolli' for awhile now (name inspired by one of my heroes!). A few years back I did a comic titled 'Luni' to test out some wood carved islander characters I’d been working on out in the Woodshop. I’m not sure how many people have read this story or picked up a copy of #whenishighmoon anthology. 'Luni' was a fun play of 'Looney' and 'Lunar'. I imagine one day I’ll share more of these characters and world so stay tuned. For now check out this first little adventure! You can find 'Luni', including Rolli, here: https://instagram.com/p/ChDMlOaPjmN/

This mug has a vaguely dog-like body with a head that open like the petals of some strange alien flower. It is based on the Demogorgon creature in the NETFLIX series, Stranger Things, which in turn was inspired by the Dungeons and Dragons demon character, Demogorgon.

*There is an all glass black edition as well.

This is a clear round glass ashtray with a heat decal featuring a Duk-Duk figure and marked for "Aloha Jhoe's Palm Springs".

Duk-Duk is a secret society, part of the traditional culture of the Tolai people of the Rabaul area of New Britain, the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea, in the South Pacific. In ritual dances, members of the society invoke the male spirit duk duk and female spirit tubuan depending on which mask the dancer wears. The dancers are always male despite the fact that some are performing the role of female spirits. Women and children were forbidden to look at these figures. Both types of mask are cone-shaped and are constructed of cane and fibre, with short, bushy capes of leaves. Traditionally the duk duk was taller than the tubuan and was faceless. The tubuan had circular eyes and a crescent-shaped mouth painted on a dark background. In addition to the mask, leaves cover the torso of the dancers so that only their legs are visible.

Called a Memorial Tablet, spirit board, ancestor tablet or kwoi, these come from the Purari Delta area of Papua New Guinea. Like many spirit boards, it is slightly curved as it was probably made from an old canoe, imbued with its previous usage by the community who owned it. The boards were kept safely in special long-houses accessible only to men, as part of a family shrine revering the spirits and ancestors. This would ensure health, fertility, wealth and success in hunting, harvesting, warfare or trade.

This is one tumbler out of a series of 8 pieces by Lokena with an orange/brown background and hand-painted tiki on the front.

This is an adaptation of the classic Tiki Bob combined with some naval battle cruiser elements. The Bob head has his usual white face, cartoonish eyes, and small mouth, but the head is the prow of a battleship made of riveted steel, plunging through waves, and wearing a sailor's hat marked for the US NAVY.

From False Idol on Facebook:

"Meet Navy Bob!! Our first collaboration with mighty MP Ceramics! A celebration of both San Diego maritime history and adorable Bobness for our fifth anniversary."

The gold glaze was done in 2023 in an edition of 10. The first was auctioned off at False Idol's Mandatory Maui Monday fundraiser night for the TS Restaurants’ “Legacy of Aloha” foundation.

As one would guess, this is a ceramic vessel shaped like the cauldron used by Ursula in the 1989 animated film, The Little Mermaid.

The central stem is wrapped in tentacles. Polyps are depicted around the bowl of the mug/bowl and on the sides of its internal structure. These polyps are the captured souls of former merpeople; they are seen near Ursula’s lair in the original film.

Also comes with a circular glow ball (pearl) that sits in center on what might otherwise be used for a lime shell to put lime or lemon extract in and light on fire.

This mug went on sale October 19th, 2023 at Club 33.

Served with a cocktail containing Pineapple Rum, Falernum, Prickly Pear Syrup, Pineapple Juice, Lime Juice, and Angostura Bitters.

*Note: There is also a purple version of this design that was released on October 18th for Trader Sam's.

Aloha fam! I met some locals, got some tattoos, and this great aloha shirt that… get this… it actually says Aloha on the back! I know! Crazy right! Well, here’s a photo of me after the last of my ice broke free from my fur. I’ll be drinking what the locals drink tonight… a Mai Tai. Wish you were here! Love and roars!

From Kin Pottery:

"It is an inhabitant of the humid equatorial forests of Cameroon, Gabon and the Congo. Today it is considered a vulnerable species close to extinction! The mandrill is one of the most unusual primates. This is due to its unusually bright color among all primates and all mammals in general. Despite the size of the canines, Mandrills feed mainly on plant food. They mainly use their menacing-looking fangs in a fight with an opponent. In general, these monkeys have a rather bad and quarrelsome character, they are prone to curiosity, so they often climb into the territory of people and smash everything that gets in their way! Some African tribes paint their faces in characteristic colors that repeat the muzzle of a mandrill."

This design has lots of different variants, multiple colors, and was an open edition.
