Has anyone found the Luau Cup, Frustrating Fanny, or Voodoo Bowl from Club Luau in Houston, TX?
How about the Dr. Munk, Log-Cutter, or Keg O' Rum?
Guess what I found this weekend:
Can you say, "personal Holy Grail"?
Houston tiki - from an Albert Gee establishment, is my quest.
And this is, to my knowledge, the first mug ever found from any of Albert Gee's 3 tiki establishments (Poly-Asian, Poly-Asian West, and Club Luau at Ding How, his Chinese restaurant one block north of our Trader Vic's).
I plan to keep one and sell the other.
No mark on the bottom, rather thick. Ceramic. Appear to be handmade and hand-painted.
Came from an antique store (who got them at an estate sale) in Galveston. I suppose they were a memento of a night out on the town in nearby Houston, many decades ago.
And now they are making me much happier than they ever made their original owners...
