Aloha!
I just came across this awesome "The Tikis" mug in GOLD! Well, the glaze is gold "colored", anyway...
...and a photo using the flash:
I've never heard of these being made in Gold/Yellow/whatever. I know in Duke's book he mentions a rare Red version. Could this be from that same "test batch" of colors other than the standard black? It's definately an original one-layer glaze and not a paint-over job.
If anyone has any info or comments, slap 'em down here, please!
Mahaloz!

Yep, that sure looks like the real thing, all right. Never seen or even heard of one of these!

Your picture reminded me of a mug I thought I had, so I went looking and found it. Same mug from the Tikis with a "gold-like" glaze. The glaze has some brownish / orangeish highlights......any thoughts?
