N NOTCH Tiki Socialite San Jose.Ca Joined: Apr 23, 2006 Posts: 507	N NOTCH Posted posted on Mon, Jun 3, 2013 9:22 AM Aloha TCers!! So I figured out what glaze to make the run of King Ku Mugs . Its a rich brown glaze with black that makes the mug pop pretty good. I've sold five in this same color glaze at Oasis last year and they sold quick @$250 Ill be selling these guys at $125+shipping and will available next month in marketplace. So I already have a list brewing so let me know if you would like to get one of these Killer Mugs. And Payment Will only be accepted the day the mug is ready to be shipped so thar be no hang time.. Mucho Mahalos! And stay tuned.. Notch
