Here are a few of the skull mugs in my collection. I believe these add a little darker and ominous element and effect to the overall feel of a Tiki space. Mentioned in a previous post-skulls have been connected to the ancestry of tribal communities, as well as prized trophies of one's victories.


Trader Vic's pointed chin and Hawaii Kai, Tiki Bob and plain skull mugs, including a more recent Tiki Farm version of the skull mug.


Islander Stockton OMC skull mugs.


A few more Randotti skulls-some rubber Disneyland shrunken heads hanging to the right.


Munktiki skull mug.


Unmarked short chin mug.
