Shag “Pau Meli” (Avocado/Orange) — Edition of 200
This mug was designed by California artist Shag. It’s based on an Andres Bumatay carving that can be found inside Max’s South Seas. The carving’s original home was the Village Apartments, Playa del Rey, CA, a Polynesian-themed apartment complex. Luckily, it was salvaged by collector Jordan Reichek when the apartment complex was torn down.
This carving is now mounted on the A-frame back bar inside Max’s (see photo.)
In our Grand Rapids ceramic studio, Max’s has produced 200 mugs in this Avocado glaze color.
