Your Moai link went to a Hula Girl mug. Here are Moais: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=Moai&layout=card The ones you called "Eaters" are usually called "Cannibal Mugs", but "Eaters" works. You already said "Ploynesia" which is kind of all-encompassing. Mugs are often based upon what area of Polynesia they are from such as PNG which stands for Papua New Guinea with a sub category of Sepik River: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=PNG&layout=card There is also Tangaroa God of the Sea and Fertility from the Cook Islands who sometimes has a weiner: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/tangaroa-cobalt-blue-by-eekum-bookum-for-inside-the-desert-oasis-room You mentioned Moari mugs. Maori mugs are based on art from New Zealand and often have tongues sticking out: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/trader-vics-maori-haka-mug But, a sub category from New Zealand would be the Hei Tiki which usually has his head turned sideways: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/crazy-al-hei-tiki-mug-green You've already mentioned some Hawaiian Island-based tiki mugs like Kane and Ku. https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/journey-to-hawaii-third-edition-lava-orange-by-jeff-granito Lono and Kanaloa are the other two of the 4 major Hawaiian Tiki Gods. But there are more than those that are depicted as well in tiki mugs. https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/lono-by-thor-for-tikiland-trading-co From what I understand, Tiki Lelani was the most produced design which is why they are usually cheaper and easier to find: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/tiki-leilani-mug There are Maquesan mugs: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/oceanic-arts-marquesan-tribute-mug-lagoon-edition-by-tiki-diablo And Tahitian Tiki mugs: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/tahiti-felix-70th-anniversary-mug There are mugs based upon prominent/signature tikis inside or outside of Tiki Bars: Big Mo: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/tonga-hut-mug-beige-white-original-edition Drooling Bastard: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/the-drooling-bastard-in-bronze-orange And of course Tiki Bob: There are Drum Mugs carved to look like drums: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/tikiyaki-jungle-jetsetter-drum-mug https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/tahiti-felix-drum-mug-limited-edition https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/drum-of-the-forefathers There are mugs based upon people who were prominent individuals in "Tiki" and Hawaiiana: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/sven-tiki-mug-blue https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/bamboo-ben-mug https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/don-the-beachcomber-mug-modern-short-neck-brown Hut mugs, based upon Tiki huts: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/spirit-hut-mug https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/hukilau-2022-tiki-hut-mug-by-eekum-bookum https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/whittle-hut-rolli-tiki-mug-designed-by-jeremy-spears There are EVENT mugs designed particularly for events and are usually based upon the theme of the event: Like Tiki Oasis:https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=tiki+oasis&layout=card Tiki Caliente: tiki caliente: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=hukilau&layout=card There are "Artist Proofs" which are mugs made before the edition comes out which were test-glazed to determine which glazes were going to be used for the edition: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/hukilau-2002-mug-artist-proof There are "One-of -kinds" usually called ONE-OFFs that are varieties of a certain mug, or hand-made, or custom made: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/marquesan-war-club-mug https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/mug-of-the-monkey-god https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/grog-marquesan-tiki-mug Or anything hand-thrown by Johnnie Velour: https://mytiki.life/creators/johnnie-velour Some mugs are more "Tiki Adjacent": Such as mermaids: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=mermaid+mug&layout=card https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/p-i https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/buk-um-dano https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/munktiki-coconut-monkey https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs/crazy-al-ape-mug-maraca-edition-coconut-brown And then there are variations of tiki mugs, like Tiki BOB who has been done to death: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=tiki+bob&layout=card And soooooo many that aren't really "Tiki"mugs, but are called Tiki mugs, like most everything from Geeky Tiki: https://mytiki.life/tiki-mugs?q=geeky+tiki&layout=card [ Edited by GROG on 2024-05-30 20:54:10 ] |
