No info on this one I'm afraid - it came from eBay with no provenance. If anybody does recognise it I'd love to know more, as it's one of my favourites. There are faint markings on the base - but I can't make out what they are. It's 7.5" tall and 4" wide.

This is the 'Pia-kua' mug designed by Tikiracer and manufactured in the UK by CheekyTiki. It's modelled on a 'Marquesan Crown' headdress. There's a thread about its design process on the Tiki Central forums. White glaze inside and out with black painted details on the tiki faces and brown around the banding. 8cm high and 10.5cm at its widest point. Marked 'TIKIRACER' on the bottom.

CheekyTiki have been refreshing their range by revisiting some old designs with new glaze colours. Here's their 'Papu' mug in "Oatmeal". Same size as the original so - "17cm tall x 8cm diameter approx. 10-12 fl oz approx."

CheekyTiki have been refreshing their range by revisiting some old designs with new glaze colours. Here's their 'Papu' mug in "Denim" (which looks just plain grey under the camera flash but does have a greyish-blue tint in natural light). Same size as the original so - "17cm tall x 8cm diameter approx. 10-12 fl oz approx."

Disney 'Mermaid' handled mug. A rather dubious addition perhaps... maybe it's made for 'The Little Mermaid'? ...but it was on sale in the Bou-tiki store at the Polynesian Resort and there are plenty of other tiki mugs featuring mermaids. Very tactile, it feels like a proper tiki mug... honest :-) 5" tall 3.5" wide (excluding the handle). All-over sea-blue glaze, the handle is fashioned from the mermaid's tail.

Porcelanas Pavon "Remolino" mug. Remolino translates as 'swirl'. Cat.# is HW-057D. Unusual lens shape. Holds 500cl. Height is 5" width varies because of shape widest diameter is 4.5" narrowest is 3". Tapa style design of sun ray, flower petals, or eyes (or whatever else they might represent) on the main body with circles around the rim. Yellow ochre/brownish glaze with black overpainting.

OK, this is clearly not a mug - but the central component is ceramic. It's CheekyTiki's 'Framed Ceramic Tangaroa Mask Lucky Dip'. Here's what they say... "Hand made signed and numbered ceramic mask limited to 250 random colour ways. CheekyTiki are using their stock glaze colours and combining them with some cool back grounds. Size : 12.5 inches square. Take a chance and see what you get." I'm not entirely convinced about the beauty of my 'lucky dip' - orange and red are a bit clashy... but some of the matting/barkcloth and brown/green ceramic combos on their website look mighty fine.

Don't know much about this one... looks rather more African than conventional tiki - but still quite nice. It's got a handle, it's made of a rather crude 'clay' material with a couple of dinks. Seems to have a bit of age. 8" tall and 4" wide not including the handle. Unmarked on the base but has some writing on the back - hard to discern, but seems to say 'Corza DP134'.

looks like it had a felt bottom attached at some point.
