Just saw a set of these on eBay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/6-Vintage-Double-Sided-Tiki-Mugs-1960s-Hand-Painted-/380251108741?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5888bb7585

Yup - ugly. I'm kind-a leaning towards the idea that this cluster f#%k wasn't so much a product of the 'Age of Aquarius', more over, I think the ad might have simply been all about making money. Duncan even supplied (upon request) a paint by numbers pamphlet with this mold...the more colors you use, the more $$ you spend. Maybe, the advertising didn't work? hey, ugly is ugly... :)

who knows...?

One thing I do know is that these old ceramics mags are really fun...lot's to learn in them :)

PS: I like the ones on the eBay auction better than the ones in the ad.
