i won't say that the prospector mugs arent great ceramic mugs, but i would not describe them as a tiki, unless the definition for tiki mug is a ceramic drinking vessel that is figural. many of vegas' casinos had or still have ceramic figural mugs for their cocktails, but have no connection to a islander, polynesian, eastern, or nautical theme. not that they arent cool mugs, but mugs being the operative word. stephen crane and OMC probably did a number of non-polynesian designs, but their involvement doesnt automaticaly make it a tiki.
not to jump on anyones back, i just think that its funny what is listed as a tiki mug sometimes. for example, ive seen ceramic cowboy boot "tiki" mugs. but the great thing in the end is that you can collect whatcha want, names aside.
