1962 Seattle Worlds Fair, Rare
|
|
Rare, no makers mark "Bumatay" look. Pink, back says '62 Seattle Worlds Fair has a sculpted "Space Needle" as well as what looks like crossed Sky Lights & a monorail track. Awesome mug so happy to have it. Others in various colors. I have heard there was a booth at the fair where you made your own tiki mug, but how would they have fired it at a fairgorunds while you waited? I'm not conveniced it's a hobbist mug? Maybe a small manufacturer? "There was an Elvis Presley movie filmed at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, called It Happened At The World's Fair" read more at:http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=19214&forum=1

This mug appears to have been a promotional hand painted hobbyist item from the World's Fair in Seattle in 1962. It takes its design from a tiki commonly designed and carved by Andres Bumatay. This mug's tiki has striking, large eyes, and a small fish-like mouth.
