Operating as a major commercial supplier, they produced exotic drinkware, cocktail garnishes, and tropical lighting for iconic tiki lounges and themed restaurants throughout the United States. Many of their classic mid-century ceramic items, including this R-15 model, were manufactured in Japan to meet the huge demand for high-quality, mold-carved barware. ⚜️Pineapples have traditionally been the ultimate universal symbol of hospitality and warm welcome. In mid-century tiki bars, a lidded pineapple vessel like this was reserved for presenting specialized tropical rum concoctions, safely holding in the cold while offering a fun surprise for patrons. It serves as a fantastic piece of mid-century Americana design history 📦Packed with care.Stored and shipped from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
