Description
This ceramic cocktail mug depicts a groaning Tiki statue as if it had sunken to the bottom of the ocean. It is covered in barnacles, coral, and fish nets. The mug was designed by Crazy Al for Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco, and the design was featured on the cover of Smuggler’s Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki written by Martin Cate with Rebecca Cate. The mug has been produced in several different editions and this particular version has a brown and black hand wiped glaze.

This mug is one of my favorites. It feels great in the hands, it’s not too heavy and it looks authentic. It doesn’t hurt that it came from the amazing Smuggler’s Cove, either.
Lost Temple Traders –
Simply one of the most iconic bar mugs ever.
Jason Smith –
Agree with Lost Temple. This is the tiki mug by which all others are measured.

Quintessential tiki mug! My favorite in my collection, I like this colorway particularly because it reminds me the way I’d imagine a sunken ship looking
