Trader Vic's Scorpian bowl available for sale

I thought I would offer this Trader Vic's Scorpian bowl first on TC,
before I listed it on Ooga Mooga or ebay.This is in excellent shape.
One minor little puka below the knee which you can't see when displayed.
No Tiki mug or Trader Vic collection is complete without one of these.
The patina on the glaze is absolutely flawless.No cracks,crazing or repairs.
I think the pics speak for them self.Will post for a week, if no buyers
I will list elsewhere.
First $150 takes it.
Mahalo,
Trader Bill

Or maybe you're just pricing it too high at $150. On Ooga Mooga the average price is $107.40 with the low being $65.69

I am a member of OoGA Mooga as well.I can assure you 9 out of ten
scorpian bowls are not as clean and the glaze as good as this one.
The last three to four I have seen on ebay have had one issue or
another with it.If you think you can find better for less -knock
yourself out.
I guarantee mine 100%

Hi Bill,
I am assuming this is the Larger of the 2 bowls? there is also a smaller 60 oz bowl. Ya never know? maybe you will get it? Good Luck it's a great bowl!

Yes - this is the large over 8" wide scorpian bowl.
Thanks Hip !
This three wahines bowl is featured in most old
vintage as well as alot of the new Trader Vic's
location drink menus.This same bowl was used at the
Mai Kai back in the day as well.This shows the Trader Vic
mfg. on the bottom.Tepco made a very close version of this
bowl except its a one piece bowl instead of four piece bowl.
No tiki mug collection would be complete without one of these
beautiful bowls.

These bowls are also referred to as Hula bowls as shown on
page 81 in Tiki Quest.Someone's going to pick up this beautiful
bowl to add to their collection-why not you?
