*SIGNED* Tiki Mug Artist Proof Max's South Seas Hideaway Artist Jerry "Bertiki"

Description

This tiki mug is such an interesting mix of colors! Jerry told me he mixed glazed to get this wood look. It looks like a carved totem with it's intricate tiki design.
This mug is an artist proof from Max's South Seas Hideaway's in house artist, Jerry Berta also known as "Bertiki". Jerry signed the mug in front of me at a tiki event in Chicago at the Hala Kahiki. His signature is in silver. He also numbered it 1/1. This mug has a very organic wavy design on the back, arms and face. The tiki has his mouth open and he is holding a small totem. This tiki mug never made it into production for Max's. It is a one of a kind artist proof!
This is a rare glimpse of the tiki mug process for a restaurant as it goes into several variations before the final mug. A unique and one of a kind collector piece!
Will be shipped with additional insurance but does not come with an original box as it was never available and never had an original box!
