This site brings up an interesting point:
At what point will the amount of Tiki Revival mugs overtake the amount of classic restaurant mugs (as in mugs produced during the mid-20th century)? I am talking about individual designs and their sculptural variations (not the same mug in different colors or with different names on it). I am no good at statistic estimates...
And also: Is it even feasible for a new Tiki fan to start collecting vintage mugs nowadays?
Wow really good questions Bigbro........i can only speak from my own experience and collection of nearly 3,000 mugs...i started collecting vintage mugs several years before ever buying a new (tiki-revival) mug...by this time i had collected almost every vintage mug i could find. i had about 800 mugs at the time..since then i have collected over 2,000 revival mugs.. there is a good chance that the amount newer mugs have long surpassed our vintage ones by quite a bit. i wonder what ooga-moogas numbers are on this????
as far as being feasible to collect vintage today??? yes...vintage mugs have a let's say feeling to them. an allure of.. what was it like there, then.. what if this mug could talk. what if it could take me back ??etc???...at any rate all this is imho
