What's the most expensive mug ever?

Purely out of curiosity, who knows the most amount of money that has ever exchanged hands for a tiki mug?

don't know. but I'd guess there's some Neiman Marcus X-mas catalog diamond-encrusted, gold leaf Shag limited edition #1/001 mug. (plus the 15 artist proofs, of course)

Here you go. I doubt we'll see this one topped in our lifetime:

Sewiously...

I'd say either the Kahiki Mystery Bowl or a Stephen Crane mug, perhaps the Ren Clark severed head. Each going for $300 - $500 plus!

But this might be the topper:

If you're talking about tiki mug or bowl, then it would probably be the Kahiki Mystery Bowl....my bank account can tell you all about it....

As for just a mug- the highest single mug price I've seen was when someone paid $670 (I think) for a Tiki Bob's mug from Cpt. Midnite....and it wasn't even the rare, Maori one either! :lol:

I will only say that my TEPCO kava bowl, owned by the TEPCO owner - John Pagliero - was 4 figures.

I wanted it and paid the price because I've seen the Trader Vic TEPCO kava bowl go for $800 plus, and that one wasn't a) the original from which all others were made, or b) owned by Mr. Pagliero. (and c) It's freaking cool!)

Wow Bong....hands down....you get the prize!! :o

I saw the Elvis Blue Hawaii mug go for $1400.00 on E bay a few years ago.

I was just going to mention that one, Al. I think that's the topper.
