Tom "Thor" Thordarson's Pirate at the Helm Tiki Mug -Moonlight Edition
“Maritime legend tells of a fine pirate that sailed the Pacific searching to add to his growing collection of Tiki carvings from the islands he explored.
So fascinated with this art form, he wove their beauty into the wooden skin of his galleon ! But great and mighty were the squalls that locked their talons grip upon his sails and left them tattered and a flutter!
The lighting and beckoning of Davy Jones took life and flesh from both ship and captain, leaving him lifeless, with iron grip at the great ships helm. His crimson red frock coat shredded and fluttering like the tell tails of a jib. His bones bleached from the salty sea and scorching sun. Yet he remains fast to the wheel...on a ghost ship destined for lands unknown.“
Pirate at the Helm, a continuation of Thor’s pirate tiki mug series, and comes with a custom tiki cocktail recipe crafted by Kelly Merrell.
This ceramic tiki mug was designed by Thor, sculpted by Thor, and was one of our first two mugs that had been manufactured in-house at TikiLand Trading Co. by the same team that previously made mugs released by Thor Arts! The first two editions of this mug were manufactured in-house, and due to more interest, and the desire to make an edition that was more accessible, we produced this edition overseas. It is nearly identical in size and weight as the two editions we previously released which were made in Southern California.

**DECOR USE ONLY option:
Sometimes we have mugs that don’t pass our final quality control process for various reasons. These mugs aren’t considered “firsts” or even “whoopsies”. Many of them we do not feel are appropriate for use with beverages. Instead of destroying these mugs, we've decided to sell them in AS-IS condition and for Decor Use Only for a low price so that some people may still get enjoyment from them.
These mugs could be used on a shelf for display, used to make a lamp, used as a pot, some other DIY project, or even to hold things such as barware, swizzles, straws, pens, etc!
Again, for those of you familiar with our "Whoopsies" program, these are not considered the same. These mugs are not exchangeable. Mugs will be guaranteed to arrive without structural cracks/in one piece, but these could have superficial glaze cracks or chips, as well as other issues. These will be clearly distinguishable from legit first quality mugs and Whoopsies because they will have a whole drilled in the bottom, so they will not hold liquid.
WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED QUANTITY OF THESE
