tiki mug

Tropical bar vessel

A tiki mug is a ceramic drinking vessel shaped like a Polynesian-style carved figure, typically used for tropical cocktails.

The mugs feature exaggerated facial features and island motifs, originating from mid-20th-century tiki bars that romanticized Pacific Island culture.
