I will find out soon. I have a request for the UK. I will let you know.
If you know others who might carry them, it is likely nearly the same to send a carton of 12 as to send 1...

Thanks. Appreciate the comment.
If you look at the Mystery Bowl by Tiki Farm, it is bigger, but not a lot more difficult to make than this one. Those are going for $100+ on Ebay and generally $60 anywhere you can find one. I consider this a great price for a 5 piece constructed bowl. There are a lot of just plain, single glaze, 1 piece mugs being sold for the price I am selling this one for.
For every bowl that survived the kiln, 10-15 did not!
I think it is a good value.

..and nothing against tiki farm- my comment wasn't directed at them. I happen to like many of the mugs that tiki farm makes, especially some of the ones they have been making lately....

I only mentioned TIki Farm as a price comparison, not quality.

got mine. today. the box had a crushed corner. I admit I was panicked but inside a second box and Styrofoam was a very safe and intact mug.
Unfortunately, our cat jumped on the table while the family and I were looking at it and my seven year old decided it was the perfect water bowl for "Dolly". oh well, the cat is happy, the kids and wife think it's cute and I can order a new for me... I consider it a win/win.

I think it is a perfect size for a cat or small dog bowl! Or cereal bowl, or dip bowl, etc.

got mine today !!
well packaged and well made... i like the fact that it's small and doesn't take up alot of real estate in my display cabinet. Now i can keep my mai kai matchbooks in it as it sits in front of my original mai kai decanter...
thanks swanky, it was worth the wait.

Announcing a Tiki Central discount deal for European buyers.
Until further notice, the price on the website is good for shipping to Europe as well as the USA.

My mini bowl arrived this week. Awesome work Swanky! I even took a stab at my own ice cone. Can't wait to see what's up next.
