Mark you calendar, check your time zone, and set an alarm! The first 25 Pounder Mugs will be released tomorrow at 12 noon Hawaiian time! The VanTiki Pounder Mugs mirror the classic stylings of the ubiquitous tool of Polynesia: the poi pounder. Traditional poi pounders mashed taro root into the food staple poi - and the VanTiki Pounder Mug will muddle your senses by transporting 700ml (23.5 fluid ounces) of tasty beverage into your belly! The Pounder is 7.25" tall, and is limited to an edition of 100 castings. Don’t let the rounded bottom alarm you - like a Weeble, the Pounder will wobble but won’t fall down (or spill your beverage) 85$ for the brown basalt interior glaze, 90$ for the satin orange interior glaze.
The official first peek at the 2016 Tiki Kon event mug sculpture. Sailor Cook, USO reporting for duty! Come to Portland July 8-10 and one can be yours!
Heads up, intrepid explorers! A crate has just arrived from VanTiki island containing an assortment of ancient cracked moai wall hangers! These stone idols would be delighted to gaze stoically at you from the wall of your den, lair, or bar. This limited edition of 20 pieces has a twist! There are FOUR distinct crack.weathering patterns. Order more than one, and we will make sure you don’t get a repeat. order more than 4, and well.. there will have to be a repeat. 9 inches high, 4.5 inches wide. $65 each (plus shipping) - available Sunday January 10th at 12 noon Hawaiian time.
Here’s the first peek at the 2016 VanTiki Pounder - A stoic Stone Idol carved from lava rock and designed to pound Poi and Rum in equal measure! The graceful shape is derived from Polynesian poi pounders - stone tools used to mash taro root into the starchy food staple poi. Like the ancient tool on which it is based, this mug fits the hand wonderfully. I plan on kicking off every year with a new Pounder design - and can’t wait to get this one molded!
Introducing The Stone Bowl. This is a tiki mug for two - in fact, as its name suggests, it’s really a bowl. VanTiki’s first official bowl! Beverage in the mouth and flaming garnish in the eyes. My favorite part? When not being used, The Stone Bowl hangs on the wall like an ancient temple guardian!
Why what do we have here? It’s an Artists Proof Fisherman’s Falernum flask in a striking basalt texture! For some folks, edition numbers and special glazes are no big thing - for others, though, getting the only Lava Rock Flask VanTiki made is kinda a big deal. On eBay now! http://www.ebay.com/itm/121808817695

Mini Moby was born at midnight in the heart of the South Seas by the light of a full moon. He was a happy little fellow and loved swimming at night in the inky blue sea while peeking up at the twinkling stars - It wasn’t till he grew up and folks started sticking harpoons into him and his friends that Moby developed a bit of a nasty streak. Can you blame him? The Mini Moby Mug in speckled moonlight glaze is 2.5 inches tall, holds 125ml (4.2 oz) of fluid, and is limited to 50 numbered pieces. Available This Saturday, October 31st at 12 noon Hawaiian Time. $45 each plus shipping.
Allow me to introduce you to Mini Moby #98. Only two more to cast tomorrow and the edition is complete
Applying layers of underglaze to the framed faces. Just about ready for tomorrow's kiln firing - after freckles and clear glaze over eyes & teeth.
The Cursed Objects show at Portland's Hale Pele tiki bar combined with my favorite month of the year inspired me to make some Framed Faces - a unique type of wall hanging shrunken head found only in the jungles of VanTiki Island.
Molding the next VanTiki Sippy Cup today: Mini Moby!
In addition to the fine assortment of VanTiki pendants that just hit the store, I have one MEGA Moai featuring tropical hardwood beads on a braided stainless cord. Fancy! Big! Tiki! mkt.com/vantiki
