Anyone ever seen a Gold "The Tikis" mug?

Aloha!

I just came across this awesome "The Tikis" mug in GOLD! Well, the glaze is gold "colored", anyway...

...and a photo using the flash:

I've never heard of these being made in Gold/Yellow/whatever. I know in Duke's book he mentions a rare Red version. Could this be from that same "test batch" of colors other than the standard black? It's definately an original one-layer glaze and not a paint-over job.

If anyone has any info or comments, slap 'em down here, please!

Mahaloz!

Yep, that sure looks like the real thing, all right. Never seen or even heard of one of these!

i've got a red 1, a white 1 and a black 1 and there's a pic of a red, white and blue 1 on ooga-mooga, but i've never seen that color. nice score!

Your picture reminded me of a mug I thought I had, so I went looking and found it. Same mug from the Tikis with a "gold-like" glaze. The glaze has some brownish / orangeish highlights......any thoughts?

HEY LEE&MATT,
I'VE GOT ONE WITH THE SAME GLAZE AS YOURS. THE TIKIS ON THE BOTTOM.RON-TIKI

Oh! Man! I have not often seen such beautiful tikis! The colors are fantastic!
