Ever since its 1794 discovery atop VanTiki Island’s highest peak, this mysterious gold eating “mug-within-a-mug” has driven men to murder and madness! Sir James Tillburg was the first to suggest that the treasure guarded by The Gold Eater is, in fact, not the solid gold vessel within it’s mouth - but a cave full of riches hidden away on VanTiki island. For over 200 years treasure hunters such as Sawtooth Jack1 and adventures like Lord Smiddly2 have attempted to unravel The Gold Eater’s secrets. Do you dare follow in their footsteps?

The Gold Eater mug is a massive 9 1/2 inches tall and weights over 7 pounds. The removable Golden vessel within stands 2 1/8 inches tall and has been coated with a brilliant layer of real gold glaze. Both are entirely hand crafted out of glazed high-fire ceramics with porcelain details. This is a one-of-a-kind sculpture, never to be repeated. Stamped, signed, and dated by the artist.
