"A mug made to look like it was carved out of a piece of lava, the texture similar to a coco joe's plaque, It could be plain"

Very interesting idea. I can't think that you will see a plain lava feel mug come out anytime soon or without your idea presented first but yesterday I saw something.

Now a plain mug wouldn't be complete in itself which most tiki mugs are going for. But this idea can be very modern when added with similar or juxtaposing pieces and in the right setting of a home. I vase is very plain but the shape of the vase added with other vases near a stone fireplace perhaps.

Their was an artist here that made a couple hand-built mugs with the texture of lava (using hundreds of pokes of a toothpick) and a simple face.

Actually you just gave me a couple really good ideas. One was the lava, I can see that turning out nice, and the idea of having a complete tiki or not.
