Oceanic Brown Cannibal Tiki Mug By LeRoy Schmaltz And Peekaboo Gallery  [100% Net Proceeds Go To Hawaii Fire Relief]

Description

This ceramic cocktail mug was generously donated from a private collection to raise funds for Hawaii. 100% of the net proceeds from this mug will be donated to support relief efforts in Hawaii after the recent devastating wildfires.

This impressive chalice, “THE CANNIBAL” is based on an original Tiki post carving by LeRoy Schmaltz created for the famous Don the Beachcomber restaurant at The Sahara Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. This Beachcomber location featured some of the most elaborate and wide-ranging décor of any in the company’s chain across the globe. A series of eight entrance posts were fabricated by Oceanic Arts for placement at the interior of the venue. Each of these tall entrance tikis were unique and represented an amalgamation of Polynesian tribal styles. Upon the closing of the Las Vegas restaurant in the 1970s, the company sold a good deal of its décor back to Oceanic Arts. Over the years, OA sold or repurposed much of this décor into their Luau Rental Department.

The mug was designed by Peekaboo Gallery owner and author of OCEANIC ARTS: The Godfathers of TIKI, JORDAN REICHEK. The design is a representation of the Don the Beachcomber, “Cannibal Post” carving and it features a base that pays homage to OA’s famous rope-wrapped brass tiki table lamp shades. This mug is MASSIVE, measuring 9” tall and 5” wide at the base, holding approximately 18oz of liquid gold!
