Nightmarchers Tiki Mug - designed by Doug Horne, BigToe, Ken Ruzic, McBiff, sculpted by Thor
Originally designed by the 2021 Gargantuas artist collective: Bigtoe, Ken Ruzic, Doug Horne and McBiff, sculpted by Tom Thordarson, aka Thor, and TikiLand Trading Co. to be released as a limited edition bowl, and with the intent to eventually release a follow-up mug with a bit wider availability, we're proud to finally introduce the NIGHTMARCHERS Mug - an 18oz personal-sized version of it's much larger sibling!
This mug features a round/conical 'volcano' in the center of the 4 pillars, as well as designs and patterns on the walls of the conical center that are unique to this mug (as compared to the bowl which has a lava type texture).
The Hawaiian legend of the Nightmarchers:
"On the nights honoring the Hawaiian gods Kāne, Kū, Lono, or on the nights of Kanaloa they are said to come forth from their burial sites, or to rise up from the ocean, and to march in a large group to ancient Hawaiian battle sites or other sacred places. The legend says the night marchers are warriors, dressed for battle, carrying spears, clubs, and some are beating war drums and blowing tones from conch shells, to announce the advancing of their march. According to the myth, they are suspended in air; their feet do not touch water or ground as they traverse through the night, and they leave no evidence of their visitations.
They march in darkness after sunset and march as a group continuously until just before sunrise. Anyone living along their path may hear chanting, sounds of blown conch shell tones, and marching noises in the night. The following signs are a foul and musky “death-like” odor, and torches getting brighter and brighter as the night marchers get closer.
Nightmarchers might appear during the day if they are to escort a dying relative to the spirit world."

What are “Whoopsies”?
During production, sometimes 'Whoopsies!' happen. These mugs we still consider sellable and usable, but we’ve previously held them back from shipping for often very small and obscure reasons that most people wouldn’t notice. While all of our mugs are hand made and unique, some are a little more unique than others. We’ve had many people inquire about mugs that we’ve not had in-stock for awhile, so we thought this could be a good way to get some mugs that we no longer produce into the hands of those who really want them, and to make room on our shelves for new mugs that we’ve got in the works.
Each of these tiki mugs will have one or more of these, or other, small issues: glaze somewhere unintended, tiny black dots from particles in the kiln, superficial glaze cracks that don’t affect the integrity of the mug, etc. As each mugs issues vary and are unique, they aren’t reflected in pictures here. Whoopsies mugs are being sold in as-is condition. We reserve the right to permanently mark mugs on bottom, out of sight, to indicate they're part of this group. Exchanges for alternate 'Whoopsie!' mugs will be allowed if buyer pays shipping costs. Mugs will not arrive broken.
“Whoopsie” mugs are offered at discounted price.
These mugs are in-stock and ready to be packed and shipped.
