DC Hey DC, That particular bowl, the one on the left specifically, is VERY RARE for ANYBODY to find! Not just Canadians! Being made by Beuceware just makes the bowls more collectible as it adds it to another field of collecting for the Beauceware collectors. You've seen those 'Beauceware' Moai mugs with the cool glaze finishes right? This would be the same manufacturer although I never knew Beauceware made these bowls. That "Vicious Virgin" Bowl I think, was probably one of the biggest documented finds last year! The Bowl came up last year on Ebay and sold for around $950!! It was pictured here on the first page of this thread along with the above postcard and was cemented in it's place in Tiki history as being from a Tiki Bar. It didn't seem like anyone knew this for sure before. I didn't think it got enough of a discussion last year when it all came to light. This was truly a great, documented find that kind of slipped through I think. Look at all the talk those Vicious Virgin mugs get from the Islander down in California. Any item like this that has not made it into any of the very well known Tiki Collectible books written so far surely is a rare bird! The Tiki bowl on the right looks really cool as well but it is hard to see what it looks like and I haven't seen the style before. It too, made by Beauceware, is very rare and will be different than the regular 3 Moai Bowls that you see. Mahalo, TabooDan
