I must say, It seems like Munktiki found their new glaze. I think it the new miracle glaze that's all the rage.

Know which one I'm talking about. Its the brown Earthy color. Ten Kustomas have been publicly displayed. The eight above and two on Ebay -One currently selling. Of the ten (which are ten totally new designs for Munktiki) eight have that Earthy brown. 9 out of the 10 have brown as part of the color, and the green one not mentioned is Earthy green.
Munktiki's new page on there site, shows this new Kustomas that is on Ebay, then its followed by a coconut bowl with the earthy brown volcanio center, followed by there new New Zealand Ebay mug, in that same Earthy matte brown, and then at the bottom, is a Monkey stacking set all done up in the same browns.

I think that Munktiki found there new favorite glaze. A glaze that I have yet to work with, but would love on my next mug. Its almost going back to a more simpler/ rustic time using that glaze.

Gecko even pulls that glaze out when he wants to wow he crowd. Gecko's shiny brown Pele's mouth, (got one, ok, got three) is cool, but put that earthy brown matte glaze over it (artist proof) and everyone knows its going that extra mile.

Maybe its a respectful glance back at the past. Maybe its saying enough with Target and cheap plastic travel cups. I know that there will always be a place for colorful mugs, cause after too many browns we want the rainbow back but maybe Treasurecraft just knew something that we are rediscovering again and again today and tomorrow.
