Tepco skull mug

Hi,
We have the old Tepco skull mug production molds at our CA kiln. They're pretty beat up and only in production molds as mentioned. So, we've cast 15 pieces each out of 10 molds for a total of 150 mugs and can't do any more. It's in black satin and it's a last hoorah for the Tepco design. We're selling them inexpensively ($19.95) so that people can enjoy this piece without spending $50-$100 on eBay. It looks pretty cool in black... "Black Skull"... we think it's pretty unique. The molds are all gone now. Check it out at Tiki Farm. They go on sale this Friday night at 6:00pm. I think you'll like them... and they're heavy too, about 2 lbs. each. Peace and hug Bax.
Mahaloz,
Holden

1126971 order was accepted, but still may not be met. I got there about 45 minutes late, but figured I'd try anyway.

Ordered two because I am an internet hosebeast.

The glaze though... do the pictures do it justice? It seemed the detail was a bit lacking, like a bad cast and glaze from Taiwan or something.

As stated on the web page at Tiki Farm, these are made from 15 original Tepco molds, 10 mugs from each mold. So the detail probably won't be outstanding. But I think the cool thing is, you're getting a little bit of tiki history in a new product, in an original color. It's doubtful you'll come across such a beast very often, and I'm surprised they haven't sold out by now! Destined to be a sought after collectible in a year or less, that's my guess.

As of this morning, the Buy Now button still works on the order page, so I'd say they're still available.

Such a bummer, moved the week of this sale and lost my fast internet on the day before. I asked tiki farm to make some skull mugs a month or so ago and he said keep an eye out. Now didn't get one. If any one has one for sale or trade drop a me a line. thanks

One arrived today out of the blue, #138 I didn't think my order was placed in time so I marked it off as a loss, But thanks Tikifarm, it's most excellent!

UPS has been trying to deliver mine for the last 3 days. Unfortunately, they will only come when I am not home. They are very good at that.

Today is a good day. 117 arrived safe and sound right here where it belongs, and I was able to order one of the Munktiki Speed Boat Maois.

PiPhi, you can sign the little slip and have them leave it at the door or with a neighbor. If you have fees to pay, you can pay over the phone with a credit card, and they'll leave it for you. Or you may also be able to call and change the drop off location to your work. I'm pretty good at avoiding the item being returned to sender.

Very strange,

I just received 121 and 122, but while 121 is a flat matte black finish, 122 is a much higher gloss black finish.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this?

cool, yet strange.
