This was found as we were going through my grandfather's papers after his passing. Maybe not truly tiki but i has that vibe to it. The scrapbook items inside were 40+ years old so I have no idea where he got it or when. We took the papers out and I plan to use it as a backdrop on my shelves to set the mood, so to speak. |

Well, they are prolly 3' by 2' ish in original frames. I'd guess 60's... Goodwill for $20 the pair. Not bad for the two most desirable Gauguin. Waikiki Tiki; Art, History, and Photographs. [ Edited by: Phillip Roberts 2019-10-17 06:21 ] |

What's the deal with the orange guy? He looks like the Nui Nui from Hawaiian Village Tampa but I've never seen it with that glaze. Did others use the same mold? |

Very rarely does something of interest show up here in Central Texas. Maybe an occasional mug in a thrift store, or a MCM ashtray. Today, at an estate sale not a quarter mile from my house (which I almost skipped because these are filled to the gills with western/rustic chic baubles) I lucked into quite a find. I walked into the open garage and immediately spotted a folded section of... tapa cloth!? Oh, my, yes! It was in terrible condition from being folded and stored poorly, but the pattern's cool and it's the first real bark cloth I've ever found in Texas. The estate sale people considered it garbage and gave it to me for $1. Still not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I have ideas. Inside the house I found some more stuff, like this 2' carved Ku from Hawaii: A set of molded bamboo serving trays with a vintage map of Hawaii printed upon them: Some Maui place mats that look to be products of the 80s: And a set of round playing cards from the defunct Aquarena Springs, which isn't tiki at all, but a cool find from what was once the top tourist destination in the U.S. (my university now owns the property, and while the amusement park is long gone, the iconic glass bottom boats are still running): |

You are one hundred percent right! https://picclick.com/Bora-Bora-Tiki-Statue-Lava-Stone-Signed-Sculpture-332131960326.html It’s almost identical. |

Was able to get a bit of info. from Cavemoai, he said similar to your sentiment, that the mug looks to be cast from the Hawaiian Village Nui Nui. Possibly from a local ceramics company. Has a 63 and RLW (or a combo of those letters) stamped on the bottom. |
