Hi, allow me to set a few things straight. Most of you have the facts very close to being right but some got a bit mixed up over time. SchoonTiki was made by my wife Artist/Designer Christie Wright for a private Function in Brooklyn in 2001 that doubled as the SchoonTiki launch and art event. I forgot how many were cast but I believe it was only 50 pcs or so. We did sell almost all of them on ebay and they went fast. We ourselves have only about two left that we will hang onto ofcourse. Schoon is indeed a dutch word that means clean, but also beautiful and the mug was a karikaturesk tiki style self portrait of her. It was not a thesis piece but made after Gradschool in New York City. Her current website address is http://www.elastichome.com and she currently works as both an artist and product designer.

I hope this helps and it's sure great to see that Schoon Tiki is so well loved in the TIki community.
