Hi Alien Tiki,
Yes, they are almost all vintage mugs and bowls. The only "new" ones are a few mugs that people gave me as gifts. Alas... the "new" ones just don't have the same feel or history as vintage tikiware.

I'm 57 years old and remember when my dad used to take me around to all his favorite tiki lounges in the Bay Area. We drove to them in a 1949 Plymouth. Back then it was prerfectly okay to plop your kid at the bar next to you and have a drink or two. Although my tiki mugs only got filled with OJ. I do not remember there ever being any "shiney" tiki mugs at most of them. But they all had faces.

I wish you were closer too so you could buy them.
I was thinking of asking $700 for the whole batch. I have seen many of these go for $75 each so I think that is pretty fair. ?
