Great additions, Everyone. KC - thanks for showing the two variations of that Shell Bowl. Cool Manchu - thanks for the example of the Pino Frio Jonpaul - really like your version of the Fogcutter. I've always thought that the "woodgrain" design on these mugs might have actually been meant to represent swirling fog, but hard to tell on the simplistic Spurlin version. Your highly detailed mug looks even more like fog to me than wood. atomictonytiki & DC - thanks for taking the time to do all those Beachcomber screen captures for us from the old Pathe films. Aquarj - Those mug illustrations from Delmonicos are great! I'd love to find some of the garnishes too - like that dangling voodoo doll pick on the Chi-Capicha. That fiberglass bullet-planter is a great way to serve a drink! I hear they used to use them as ice buckets sometimes, so it would be the next logical step to nestle a drinking vessel in the ice. I think it would have stood on the floor as the style pictured were approx 30" tall - perfect for sipping from a chair.
You can order modern reproductions of these classic planters from several sources, including this site: |
