Silver Spring Tiki Scores

P1010005.jpg

The 4 tiki mugs I scored on my trip to Silver Spring arrived today. As usual, nothing terribly rare or exotic. Here's a brief description of each. The links go to a larger image of the mug.

1) Otagiri Mercantile Company "crossed-arms" mug: from the extinct Luau Hut in Silver Spring, MD. It appears as the Tiki Tumbler in this vintage menu from Arkiva Tropika.

2) Small Moai mug: unmarked, and looks like it could be homemade. I really dig the white glaze with blue streaks. Looks like a bar of Irish Spring!

3) Dynasty Headhunter mug: from the Jekyll and Hyde Club in New York, and the design is based on an older Orchids of Hawaii R-1 mold.

4) Maui Lu Luau Daga Warrior mug: from the the Maui Lu Resort, Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.
