's an amazing find for your TIKI collection--a vintage Don the Beachcomber bust mug in a yellow gold and brown glossy glaze. This mug measures about 7" tall and is, I believe, the short-neck version. Inscribed on the front with "Don the Beachcomber." Unearthed at a local estate sale, this incredible piece of vintage TIKI culture comes to you in excellent condition with the following noted: one small, about 3mm flake in the glaze on the bottom in the back of the mug, shown in the photo with the pink arrow. T are also a couple of thin spots in the glaze along the top lip that look to be from manufacturing. They do not appear to be chips, only tiny spots w the glaze was thinly applied or wore off. Other than what is mentioned , the white spots in the photos are reflections. Glaze shows crazing typical and expected in a piece of this age. Until now, I have never even seen one of these in person, only in Sven Kirsten's The Book of Tiki on page 69, and on numerous wish-lists of TIKI collectors. Even with it's very minor flaws, this mug is a must-have for any serious TIKI collector. Offered with a very reasonable reserve and a Buy It Now if that's your preference. Be sure to check out The Book of Tiki for a very thorough history of Don and his impact on the TIKI/Hawaiiana culture. As always, I try to describe items as best I can. This
