I found this vintage Ku tiki mug at an estate sale this last Saturday. It has me a little perplexed though. While the headdress is clearly Hawaiian, the eyes are without doubt New Guinean in form, but the toes evoke the 1960s surf-tiki stylings of famous Huntington Beach artist Buddy "Whack" Wembley. Strangest of all, it is marked both "Kahiki" and "Luau Hut" on the back in black permanent marker. My questions for the group are:
Any insight into the answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated. But if you are going to call me names, you can go @#@#!*^ yourself with mixed-breed *#$^%^!@$ in a *%^&!ing tupperware %#$$@! Sabu |

Hmm.. the rattan backing has a definite Witco look to it. And usually when I see these types of tikis, they come with the flourescent orange glaze. I'd say you have a rare one there - Good score! |

I'm afraid you'll be frightened to hear that 'big eye' art is once again becoming very collectible! Still doesn't command very high prices, but the originals do. |
