Tropical Sci-Fi Mugs

These Tiki Glasses are Decorated to Look Like Various Star Wars Characters

— May 5, 2016 — Art & Design
For consumers looking for festive summer glassware to add to their collection, these quirky Star Wars themed tiki glasses might be an ideal choice. The glasses replicate the aesthetic of traditionally carved wooden tiki masks using the various Star Wars characters as the source of inspiration. The end result is a series of colorful glasses that merge contrasting sci-fi and tropical themes.

These Star Wars tiki mugs are made out of ceramic, and feature a three dimensional rendering of characters such as Yoda, Darth Vader and Chewbacca recreated to look as though they are carved from wood. The mugs are colored according to each character's costume, so the Yoda mug is a light green and the Darth Vader glass is an elegant all-black. The glasses can be used to serve festive tropical beverages.
