Bosko's Handcrafted Limited Edition Line of Ceramics
All of our Tiki ceramics are exclusively designed and hand crafted by Bosko and team at our Southern California Studios. We use a wide range of US made lead free glazes and clay-bodies in unique combinations. Slight variations should be expected and embraced. These are all true works of art! Some are limited to the life of only One mold (which is around 100 or so castings) increasing its collectable value. Others are cast from production molds but always in a Ltd color edition of about 125. Always handcrafted! Every one of these creations is numbered and authenticated with the "Tiki Objects by Bosko" logo on the bottom.
All are dishwasher & food safe. Once these go, they'll never return! Available only in the glazes shown.

About Bosko's ceramics:
Bosko was the first person to bring back Tiki mugs as an art form way back in the early 90’s, years before anyone else (who are now on the Tiki band wagon) considered such a thing. His early direction was in fact inspired by Paul Gauguin's ceramics (who Sven Kirsten credits with the earliest inspiration for a “Tiki” vessel). Gauguin literally had his finger prints all over the work and he embraced “mistakes” it was all part of his process. Bosko is not unlike him (and other great ceramicists) in that respect, he very much dislikes ceramics that have a perfect, ”machine-like” quality, he feels this is a craft carried out by human artisans, this is what makes the ”art” unique. It’s apparent it’s not a mass produced import from China (for instance).
