Tiki Mug Laniakea 35 cl

The blue glaze finish sets it apart from most other tiki mugs, which are usually kept in earthy tones - Laniakea pulls the sky and the ocean into the ceramic and gives the drink a different, cool-toned look.

The Expert's Description

The Tiki Mug Laniakea Mug 35 cl is a ceramic mug from the Tiki Mug range, sculpted with a detailed face and glazed in shades of blue, with room for a 35 cl drink.

The name Laniakea is Hawaiian and roughly means "immense heaven" - a fitting title for this particular mug, where the blue glaze stands apart from the earth-toned tiki mugs you usually see. The design still follows the classic tiki tradition with deep relief carving and a striking facial expression, but in a cool colour palette that gives a fresher look on the bar counter.

Design & Material

The mug is cast in ceramic and hand-glazed in blue tones, so the patterns in the face stand out clearly. The thick ceramic wall holds the cold from the ice cubes longer than an ordinary glass.

Use & Recommendation

Laniakea suits fruity, exotic cocktails such as a Colada Crusher, a Blue Hawaii or a Piña Colada, where the blue colour plays nicely off the drink's appearance. Hand washing is recommended, so the glaze stays looking good for years to come.

Did You Know?

The Hawaiian word Laniakea was later borrowed as the name for the enormous galaxy supercluster the Milky Way belongs to - a good example of how old Hawaiian words for sky and space are still used today, far from their original context.
