Tiki mug collectors? Sound off.

[Tiki Cwazy]

Anyone else collecting mugs? I started about a year ago, I have 5 mugs. I know, not a lot, but I mostly find mine at Goodwill and yard sales. I think they are getting popular again to collect as I'm not seeing them as much. Show me what you have.

I have a handful of "cheap" mugs. I won't feel bad if one of my guests falls off their bar stool and breaks one. Now, if I had one of these $180 mugs. I suppose it would go on the shelf for viewing only. ?

I don’t own any mugs but I have one in front of my face quite often. ??

Now that is the perfect use of a mug. Leave it off the shelf, keep it filed in front you!

I have a small collection, only about 10. I’ve been adding a few a year but haven’t had a place to display them until now.
I did score 4 of these vintage mugs at a thrift store last month.

Nice!

Could you share a pic of the bottom? Is there a stamp or a signature? I'm always curious on the history of a mug.

Thanks!

The bottom just says “Japan”
I found several on EBay listed as vintage, from Orchid’s of Hawaii

I only recently got a few. They are the higher end ones, I only let my "trusted friends" use them, lol

I've been collecting for over 20 years. Probably have 800+ mugs. I make mugs so I can afford to buy more mugs! Here is a 10 year old photo of my mug wall. It has grown since then.
