Not too much attention is paid to the Westwood Tiki mugs out there these Days. Westwood made a big contribution to us collectors by making a wide variety of items. Duke has four pages of Westwood photos in Tiki Quest with a ton of eye candy. Many companies latched onto Westwoods style and produced many knockoff items. I have seen many of the handled mugs over the years and many of the mini mugs but nothing else. Is Westwood rarer than is ussualy thought? I would be good to see what other folks have found out in the wild. here are some from my collection.

The ussual suspects that I have found to be most common.


Bottom markings. And the only time I have seen the words "Tiki Mug" on a vintage mug.

Two variations of the pineapple man. Left one is lighter in weight and unmarked. The mug on the right is marked Westwood.

Coffe mugs just over four inches high.

Bottom markings of the coffee mugs.

Two mini mugs with the big guys for comparison.

I think Westwood is underated in the collecting world but has some great designs and a wide variety of items out there to be found. Now I just have to find some more in the wild. Thanks.
