First off, let me just say thank you to all of your for your kind words. We really appreciate that people understand our work, and like what we're doing.

When we're sitting around the studio discussing new designs, we're always aiming to make mugs that look as though they could have been used it one of the great Tiki temples of yore. Many times as Pop is working on a sculpt, he'll ask us..."Does that look like an old mug?" It's an aesthetic we've always loved, and are glad that people see that in our work.

To share a bit more, here's some pics of some of our one-offs and test proofs we've done recently.

First off is the first picture of our P-10 Little Bub that just came out of the kiln this week.

We're retiring the production style P-3 Tiki Bubs, but we still wanted to make the same design, so we shrunk it a bit to fit in your hand better. The one on the right is the P-16 Bitsy Bub that we're planing on having for next year.

And here is a few pictures of different glazes we tried on our Ku mug before settling on the one we chose.

And finally, a alternate version of our logo mug:

When I get a chance (probably after the Hukilau :) ), I'll try to dig back some more and find some more pictures of some of the older mug variations we did, and some of the carvings/non-mug stuff we did early on as well.

Thanks again for looking!
