Hello,
I found these 2 tiki related items recently and was looking around and couldn't find any pictures of them. Does anyone have any information for me or have you seen these before?
The first is a cannibal decanter that Mrs. Lava found, similar to some decanter sets I have seen but this looks different. Its apparently a dead cannibal head and has a leather strap so you can hang it on the wall! Nice thick ceramic with black matte paint and some gloss details. Has cork stopper and decal on the back that says it is Liqueur, product of Italy and was imported by Liqueur Specialties of So. San Francisco. I like cannibal items so I was stoked that Mary found it!

Next is a mug that looks like a budget Steve Crane but could just be a souvenir of Canada. Only marking is a "Japan" stamp on the bottom. Its decidedly totem pole-esque in its red clay ceramic brown finish and the paint colors but it looks a bit tiki-ish to me. I am not very picky when it comes to definitions of whether its tiki or not but I would just like to know if anyone has seen this or has any reaction.

Thanks all!
