latour of hawaii - Collecting Tiki

K Koolau Member Oahu, Hawaii Joined: Sep 23, 2006 Posts: 323	K Koolau Posted posted on Sat, Aug 2, 2008 4:43 PM Here's the Latour pagoda: I have two; both are hand-marked "Ilikai" with the Latour "LT" logo. I've asked many people about Latour, but found out very little. I believe Latour was (or is) a woman, and produced a number of different mugs, mostly for the Ilikai hotel. I have a green coconut, a scorpion bowl, and two mugs similar to the Daga two-face and hourglass tiki mugs. I'll try to post photographs of my other mugs later. That's all I know - Freddie may be able to provide more details. I think Latour falls into the very rare but not recongnized, therefore not collected, category of tiki collectables. If I saw these pagoda mugs at a store for $25, I would definitely buy them.
