The Ku bowl and the Maori man mug are so intricate and well made. They are all outstanding pieces. Thanks Sven. In his ebay auction, bigbrotiki wrote: This bowl is from the yet-to-be-discovered Spanish Tiki culture, an offspring of American Polynesian Pop that blossomed in the 1970s. "Exotica Espanola" has a completely seperate Tiki mug history, with unique concepts and style. A book about this esoteric subject is in the works. Is this true? I don't recall you mentioning it here but I think its a great idea and I look forward to the finished book. Even if its a wee small slip of a book (is there that much tiki history in Spain?) I'd buy a copy. I find it fascinating that a whole branch of tiki culture has evolved for the most part off of our radar. Now that the terms Polynesian Pop and Exotica Espanola have been coined, might I suggest a new category: Melanesian Mod? You know, for all of those PNG inspired carvings that adorned the Enchanted Tiki Room and the vintage tiki establishments. No? OK. Forget I said anything... :wink: Sven or Trevor, could one or both of you maybe scan the menus that feature these mugs and bowls so that we can get a good look at how they appear in the menu and what drinks are served in them?
