But what is Tiki devolution to some, is Tiki bliss to others, so if you like the guy, get it and give it a brown paint job, it definitely does not look like a stone sculpture. Did Orchids market decor? Hell yeah, that was 90% percent of their business, and it was mostly all Chinese Restaurant stuff, the mugs were just a small percentage of their wares.
