Tiki Mug Parrot 75 cl

A parrot is practically standard issue in any tropical island bar fantasy - colourful, loud, and impossible to miss. The Parrot mug captures exactly that mood, carved into ceramic instead of painted on a sign.

The Expert's Description

The Tiki Mug Parrot Mug 75 cl is a ceramic mug from the Tiki Mug range, sculpted with a parrot as the central motif, with room for a full 75 cl drink.

Where most mugs in the range are built around human-like tiki faces, Parrot breaks the pattern with an animal motif - one of the most recognisable symbols of tropical islands and exotic cocktails. That makes the mug a natural eye-catcher on a bar shelf where most other mugs wear a human face.

Design & Material

The mug is cast in ceramic and hand-glazed in brown tones, where the carved beak and plumage are shaped with clear relief detail. The thick ceramic wall holds the cold from the ice cubes longer than an ordinary glass.

Use & Recommendation

At 75 cl, the mug suits large, fruity cocktails such as a Zombie, a Mai Tai or a Colada Crusher, with room for plenty of ice and garnish. Hand washing is recommended, so the glaze and the fine relief in the beak and plumage stay looking good.

Did You Know?

The parrot became a fixed symbol in American tiki bar culture in the 1940s and 50s, because live birds were often kept in cages as part of the decor at bars such as Don the Beachcomber - today the tradition lives on in ceramic instead of feathers.
