Mexican "Tiki" Mugs

I was in San Diego at Old Town a couple of weekends ago and saw these mugs being sold at a shop and was intrigued by them. Definitely not tiki but I would say influenced by tiki.

Wow! Those are cool!

I wonder if they came filled with cocktails in mid-century Mexican restaurants?

Hey Mongo,I agree wid you, very much influenced (imho) by Tiki mugs. Nicely done too! Like most of us on TC I’bout outta room-have to save some space for “Real” tiki mugs even though I like those that you posted very much.

Those are from Trader Juan's.

They remind of the old Kahlua decanter and the Toltec decanter.

tiki? they look more to me like vessels for holding the blood of Mayan sacrifice victims...

Mongoloid - Do you remember the name of the shop that was selling these?

Arriano I don't remember the name of the shop but it was one of the bigger shops with a big wrap around deck, the mugs were inside. A lot of the vendors start to look the same after awhile so sorry I can't be of more help.
