Kahiki Supper Club Columbus Ohio Rare Vintage Tiki Ashtray 1960s
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:30163610 |
We are selling the tiki mug collection of a dear friend who passed away in April. We are working our way through several hundred pieces that were the culmination of a couple decades worth of collecting. Most of these mugs came from bars he had visited in his travels, tiki temples of yore, or are limited edition runs by current designers/makers. We will be listing bits at a time over the coming weeks so keep checking back.

This off-white ashtray is said to have been made by Kahiki owner Bill Sapp’s wife, Marcy, circa 1961. She made all the original pottery and vessels in the early days of the supper club down in the basement. As they were not mass produced and only intended for use in the restaurant, none of the pieces were ever offered for sale and have become highly sought after. The ashtray is round and decorated on either side with tiki faces and is stamped with a repeated pattern of round "dots.” It has two indentations for cigarettes and is marked "Kahiki" on the interior. The bottom is felt.
There are hairline cracks at both ends of the ashtray that start under the cigarette indents and work their way down, which you can see in the photos. This does not compromise the integrity of the piece. There are also some brown spots inside the ashtray and a large spot on the exterior that appears to be an old cigarette burn. Please look at all pics carefully and let us know if you have any questions.
Dimensions: 4.5" W x 2" H
Item will be carefully packaged with plenty of bubble wrap and packing peanuts to ensure safe arrival. Shipping via USPS Priority Mail with full value insurance.
