When researching appearances of green mugs at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department, I came across this image from Episode 2004. The green mug is shown next to a Santa Claus-shaped mug and a plate of doughnuts. Thanks to a tip from Twin Peaks Archive, I now own a replica of the mug.
SANTA CLAUS MUG
The mug was made by the Commodore Company from Japan possibly in the 1950s. The mug measures approximately 3.75-inches long (including handle) by 3-inches wide by 2.75-inches tall.
The bottom of the mug has a green Commodore sticker on the bottom of the mug.
APPEARANCES OF SANTA CLAUS MUG IN TWIN PEAKS
The mug appears briefly in episode 2.004 hold coffee stir sticks. Yet this episode wasn’t the first appearance of holiday-theme mug.
In episode 1.001, Lucy is seen holding the mug when Agent Dale Cooper first enters the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department.
Unlike the replica mug I now have, the prop mug used in the series is missing most of the red from Santa’s hat.
