But Gecko and Squid made it happen -- and made it perfect. This gorgeous piece from South Sea Arts, designed by the one-and-only Gecko and sculpted by Squid himself, represents their first production collaboration for a bar/restaurant. This edition has a glowing red glaze mixed with a matte brown rope motif. You won't believe the details on this sculpt. It's also a biggie, with about a 22 oz. capacity. Top lid with straw hole fits perfectly. Check out photos below, and order yours through our website: http://okolemalunalounge.com/store.html Mahalo!

Tiki Farm did a version of this a while back ... But Gecko and Squid made it happen -- and made it perfect. I'm stoked to own both of these, what a great concept for a tiki mug !!! In my opinion a side by side comparison shows a vast difference in the artistic interpretation and quality of the final product.

So devastating to see the damaged mugs, I hope this isn't an epidemic and that the Tiki lovers out there can enjoy having this beauty in their huts and hands.

We have adjusted our packaging and shipping methods so this won't happen again. We look forward to getting more of these beauties in TC'ers hands (and on their mug shelves!) in the days to come.

I've one of these Rum demon mugs in green and it's amazing. I think I'll have to buy one of the Gecko/Squid ones now!

I'll include an exaggerated comparison to illustrate the now apparent difference. vs The Rum Demon mug and Gecko/Squid mug collaboration take the cake in a cinch regarding this key feature, otherwise a ceramic sphere is just a ceramic sphere.

V VanTiki Member Hawaii Joined: Nov 25, 2005 Posts: 1046	V VanTiki Posted posted on Wed, Jun 13, 2012 7:29 PM I was lucky enough to be able to pick one of these up in person at Okolemaluna last week - and it is a STELLAR mug! As mentioned above, the ropes are beautiful, and they really pop against the deep candy red of the globe. A top notch mug by top notch artists from a top notch bar!
