Back in 1983 Frankoma Pottery burnt to the ground. The fire destroyed all of the tiki line molds. Only one small tiki salt shaker survived the flames. 24 years later Joniece Frank and I have become close friends. She has given me that shaker and also we share the copy write to the Frankoma Tiki line.

Our Friendship began when I sent her photos of a bowl I had made using her famous war god design. You can see that bowl on my out dated web page http://www.claytikis.com.

Starting this year I've been working with Joniece and Gecko to bring back the War God using my sculpt, Gecko's experience with ceramics and glazes and Joniece's valuable critiques. We are ready to begin sales of the first War God in Hawaiian Honu (Turtle green) Glaze. Our second release will be Alii Gold (Black with Gold eyes and teeth).

All total there will be 175 mugs total produced in 7 colors of 25 each. Look under Tiki Marketplace for more information or search Frankoma.

Here are photos of a possible new Frankoma war god bowl. The photos show it in clay after it's been baked. There is no glaze just the clay. Please let me know if I should produce this bowl. Joniece has give it a thumbs up.

My new War God Bowl

Thank you for looking, Wendy
