Volcano Mug
Volcano MugThis is the mug that started it all for us. It was designed by Glen “Pop” Helzer and features a small reservoir on the rim of the mug designed to hold a small amount of high proof alcohol or other fuel (we have had great success with orange or lemon extract) to light a small flame to enhance your cocktail experience. The mug also features a straw hole to secure...

Volcano Bowl
Volcano BowlSince we really liked how our original Volcano mug came out, and we wanted to do a similar piece to it, the natural evolution was to create a volcano bowl. Leveraging the same design features of the original mug (the flaming cup and straw holes) we set about making a bowl that has the simplified look of traditional poly pop, yet offered something new and interesting. Care was taken to...

Tourist Cup
Tourist CupThis mug was begun as an experiment in our early days of mold making. A mold was pulled off a carved wooden cup that is commonly sold to tourists (Thus the name). The original was a stemmed cup, but we modified it to be the perfect size for smaller, “straight up” drinks.
It is fired in a tan slip with brown glaze to give it a unique texture and look.

Tourist Bucket
Tourist BucketBeing happy with how the P-2 mug turned out, and the very positive response we got with it, we decided to branch out a bit and make an attempt to create an old-style bucket mug with the same character of the Tourist Cup. Using the original as inspiration, Pop created the sculpt from wax and we began to produce the bucket as well.
The finish on these is taken up a...

Tourist Bowl
Tourist BowlContinuing with the “Tourist” look, the third piece in the line is our P-15 Tourist Bowl. It features some of the same images that are on our Tourist Cup and Tourist Bucket Mug, but in a footed bowl that can be used to share with your friends.
The Bowl is glazed around the edges, inside, and around the foot in our favorite classic brown to give it a very vintage feel....

1-Ring Bamboo Mug
1-Ring Bamboo MugThe bamboo mug is often overlooked as a boring, unoriginal, and rather common artifact in the Tiki mug lexicon. However, we wanted to broaden our line with some very classic and very functional pieces, and as such we wanted to do ones of superior quality and design.
The first of our bamboo collection is the P-6 1-Ring Bamboo mug, so named for the one ridge toward the bottom of this mug,...

The second of our bamboo collection is the P-7 21-Ring Bamboo mug, so named for the two ridges around this mug. The mug itself...

3-Ring Bamboo Mug
3-Ring Bamboo MugAs we started our Bamboo line of mugs, we thought it might be fun to have one that looks more at home on Gilligan’s Island than in a modern Tiki Bar. The P-8 3-Ring Bamboo is very tall and features 3 growth rings along the body of the mug. It’s the perfect vessel to save you trips back and forth to the bar.

PopTiki Logo Mug
PopTiki Logo MugTaking our inspiration from the Trader Vic’s and Luau 400 mugs, we created this piece featuring our Papua New Guinean inspired logo. We took extra care and attention to detail in creating this mug by giving it a deep recess in the foot and having the full PopTiki of Colorado name in raised lettering on the bottom. We plan on producing only a very few of these mugs, as the...

Moai Mug
Moai MugInspired by a carving at the famous/infamous Casa de la Fink, this mug is a slightly more modern, angular take on the classic gentlemen from Easter Island.
The standard version of these is in a slightly mottled gray glaze and finished inside in gloss black. Other versions in various colors, including proofs and artist editions, have and will occasionally be made available.
While being a rather large mug, the capacity is very...
