It has a Roseville look to it but has a glossy finish. There are no markings on the bottom, looks like a 1960's souvenir from Hawaii. What do you guys think?

I have always thought they were cool because they colorful and pretty. Gives the collection a little variety of cool. Nice score. Erich

I also have a matching set of s/p shakers which you can just barely see peaking out from behind the tiki lamp in this pic I posted in the Tiki Finds thread: I've also seen a matching shot glass for sale on a web site somewhere but it was a little pricey. So now we know there's a pitcher (two or more sizes?), mug, ashtray, s/p shakers and shot glass. I'd think maybe there was a set except for the big "Hawaii" on each piece which makes it look more like a souvenir.

A few years back in the early days of eBay I watched an original Mai Kai decanter from opening to closing at $9.99 with no bids - not even mine! I was waiting to the last minute to snipe it when I somewhere along the line I got distracted and missed the auctions end and it closed with NO BIDDERS. Another bonehead moment was a visit to an antique mall a few years ago. I came across the CocoJoe's wallplaque of a Maiden kneeling down and making an offering to a tiki. It was only something like $17.00. Since it was the first stop of my afternoon I decided to wait and see if I would find anything else first before I'd snag it. After a long afternoon of antiquing I forgot about it. When I remembered, it was something like 5 or 6 days later. I returned the shop only to find it had been sold! AAARRRGGHH!

Not exactly tiki. Maybe it's common if you think to steal the big mutha while you are in there...

Are any of you the seller? F
E ErichTroudt Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 634	E ErichTroudt Posted posted on Wed, Jul 13, 2005 1:28 PM Okay, so based on that picture, I started collecting these pieces. I have the ashtray, vase, big mug, plate, s&p shakers, and the pitcher. I thought I only needed the small handled mug and the cup. A recent ebay auction had the small cup and vase. I got outbid. I emailed the winner asking him if he collected the set as well. He was a very nice guy, and responded he had a few of the pieces, including the sugar bowl.........Huh? So I said sugar bowl? and he said yeah. Turns out there a creamer too, the smaller version of the vase described earlier in this thread. He was cool enough to send me a picture of the sugar bowl w/lid. Erich

I found the sugar bowl and creamer still in the gift set wrapper (complete with plastic lei) at a garage sale in Saskatoon. I'll post a photo of it later...

E ErichTroudt Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 634	E ErichTroudt Posted posted on Wed, Jul 13, 2005 10:11 PM Thats awsome. Thanks for the pic. I wonder if all the pieces were packaged in that fashion? I went from needing only 2 more pieces to needing 4 more pieces..... I wonder what else is out there with that pattern?
E ErichTroudt Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 634	E ErichTroudt Posted posted on Thu, Oct 9, 2014 12:39 AM bringing back this old thread in case any new info is known. most of the pictures don't work anymore in this thread.... but the discussion is about these pieces. It was also discussed on this thread... http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=43851&forum=5&hilite=blue Not what some people would call tiki... more hawaiiana... tourist junk....either way I hate labels and I love the stuff. A few other people on TC in the past have shown interest in it too. Finally my collection is all displayed together, I thought I had it all, then ooga mooga mentioned a bell...after cussing a bit, I found one and bought it too. So I think I have all the pieces finally... Unless someone shows me another piece not in my collection... Plate, Bell, Creamer, sugar bowl, pitcher, big mug, small mug, Vase, Salt & Pepper shakers, tooth pick holder, ashtray....
