M MakeDaMug Member behind a cluttered desk Joined: Mar 28, 2002 Posts: 1183	M MakeDaMug Posted posted on Wed, Feb 21, 2007 1:36 PM I recently came into a stash of 33 of the hard-to-find Trader Vic's Menehune compotes. They are unused in their original boxes. These have a China stamp on them so I know that they are not vintage. I don't know though if they were made 2 years or 20 years ago. This compote measures 4 1/2" in height and 5 1/2" in width and holds 20 oz. The glaze is a very attractive amberish yellow. The black markings are glazed and the white is cold painted. There are 9 Menehunes flanking the perimeter and the pedestal features 2 pineapples & other miscellaneous fruits. This has always been one of my personal favorites and it is relatively rare and hard-to-find. Shortly, I'll be posting a hidden url for Tiki Central members only where you can purchase one of these from me. It will be a strict limit of 1 per person and the price will be $40 each plus shipping ($5.95 CA, $6.95 West of Rockies, $7.95 East of Rockies). Sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Mahaloz!

M MakeDaMug Member behind a cluttered desk Joined: Mar 28, 2002 Posts: 1183	M MakeDaMug Posted posted on Wed, Feb 21, 2007 6:44 PM To be fair to everyone, I will post the url tomorrow at 12:00 noon pdt. This way, you won't miss out (hopefully - I can't control how many orders will come through) if you're interested in getting one and you don't have to keep checking back. If 12:00 noon doesn't work for you, find somebody you know who can bid for you that's free at 12:00 noon tomorrow. I am not shipping these signature required. If you have a specific method you'd like for us to use (UPS or FedEx only), please email me (don't pm me - email me please at [email protected]), I'll gladly oblige. If you request a signature required delivery, there is a $4 surcharge. If this is left at your doorstep & we have a proof of delivery but it has "developed legs", we won't be able to replace it or do a refund. I hope you all understand. Lastly, I cannot accept any pm requests to order these in advance. Mahaloz! Holden [ Edited by: makedamug 2007-02-21 18:52 ]
