Cradle of the Golden Mug - Handmade Tiki Mug by VanTikiTwo Part set: Mug and Wall Sconce! Cradle of The Golden Mug
Tiki Mug and Wall Sconce by VANTIKI
You are bidding on a TWO PART SET: ONE (1) hand-built ceramic Tiki Mug
and ONE (1) hand-built ceramic wall sconce sculpted by Henrik Van Ryzin of VanTiki Studio, Hawaii
Legends tell of a rum so powerful, so profoundly complex and mind altering, that a single sip will open your eyes to the secrets of the universe. Some say the high-priests of VanTiki Island store the rum in a golden cup, and that this cup is placed in the jaws of an ever watchful stone guardian. Others say the rum is a myth, and that the golden cup is an illusion projected by the hungry spirit within the stone idol. Curiously enough, the one-handed priests who inhabit the vast cave system beneath VanTiki island have no comment on the subject.
This is a two-part set: The large stone idol wall sconce, and the small golden cup that rests within. Every Tiki Bar or Sinister Lair needs a Golden vessel of unknown origin and powers to keep the conversation flowing and the energies aligned.
The Cradle of The Golden Mug wall sconce is a massive 15 inches tall and weighs 9 pounds 2 ounces. The removable Golden Mug stands 3 inches tall and has an outer coating of real gold with a brilliant red glaze interior. Both are entirely hand crafted out of glazed high-fire ceramics with porcelain details. This is a one-of-a-kind sculpture, never to be repeated . Stamped, signed, and dated by the artist. PLEASE NOTE: The wall sconce Guardian idol is HEAVY and will need a sturdy wall to hold him up. Get out your stud detectors!
PLEASE NOTE: The photo of the vintage Mr. Bali Hai mug is for scale reference only - the vintage mug is NOT included in the auction.
