From Tiki Farm: “One of a growing list of our more popular and talked-about mugs of the thousands of styles we’ve created to date is our 2016 premier of our Mookie Sato designed “Volcano Village” Tiki mug. We’ve given this version a new glaze direction with a slight dayglow soft lime green primary glaze, wiped on the exterior high points to expose the natural, matte glaze-covered artistic stylings of Mookie-San! On the original version, glazed originally in a mid-century orange hue, in the one small field we added the text “ALOHA”.... that felt seemed appropriate. For this version, we’ve decided to change the text there to how we sign-off on a lot of our press and documents out in the Internet world... “MAHALOZ!”. Why Mahaloz! you might ask? Well, check this out... We are offering a total run of just 250 mugs at just $20 per mug! It’s our way of saying THANK YOU (MAHALO”Z”) for your support of our beloved Tiki Farm. So get ‘em while you can, they’ll go fast...” Links: To purchase other great tiki treasures and mugs visit: and Follow us on Instagram for mug giveaways: @tikimugreviews Support us on Patreon and join our Ohana: @tikimugreviews ** Tiki Mug Artists ** If you like our content and would like to see one of your mugs featured please email us at: tikimugreviews@gmail.com to learn how.

The original bar has become one of the most sought after Witco pieces. They are quite rare, as fewer were produced than other Witco bars. The ‘Tahiti Bar’ was the most expensive home bar that Witco Decor offered. We are so excited to be able to bring this fabulous design into creation once again.
