Asking for a friend with too damn many coconut mugs/cups of various sorts... ;) The wiki entry for coconut shell cups covers earlier/pre "tiki culture" uses of naturally fashioned cups, and doubtlessly the British navy's hard drinking sailors further contributed to the whole "using real coconuts as a drinking vessel" around the world... but I'm interested in getting some info on the variations of vintage (pre-90's) ceramic coconuts out there... such as:
I dug through several coconut threads here too (sadly, with mostly expired image links that probably held a few great examples) and of course there's a ton of specific "coconut" tagged items to see at mytiki.life, but no general overview of ceramic coconut cups that I have stumbled across just yet...

Here's what I have discovered so far by looking at various websites and following rabbit trails; I left out a few minor makers where no date info was available, and of course anything produced after 1990ish. Overview of vintage (pre-90’s) ceramic coconut cup makers, in alphabetical order: • Desert Ceramics: marked “DESERT CERAMICS USA" • Daga: marked “DAGA HAWAII” • Dynasty Wholesale: marked “DW116”, “DW116-L” or “DW116-S” • Ed Langbein: marked “Ed Langbein Original Italy” • Edward Don & Company: marked “Edward Don & Co”. • Frankoma Pottery: marked “T7” • Hall Pottery: marked “HALL 1877” • Hammat Originals: marked “Hammat Originals” • Hoffman Pottery: marked “Hoffman Pottery HP” • Orchids of Hawaii: marked “R13-A” • Otagiri Mercantile Company (OMC): stickered “OMC Japan” • Paul Marshall Products: often marked “PMP” • Polynesian Pottery: marked “P.P. Trader Vic’s Hawaii” • Spurlin Ceramics: • Steve Crane: marked “Designed by Steve Crane Associates” • Terra Ceramics: marked “Made in Hawaii Terra-Ceramics” • Treasure Craft: marked “150, copyright 1959” [ Edited by Holofernes on 2024-10-10 07:56:46 ] |
