Lighting a Candle for Miriam Sullivan

Today I’m lighting a candle for Miriam Sullivan, the school teacher who was visited by Richard Horne in Twin Peaks Part 10 on Showtime. I originally identified this prop on July 19, 2017 about three days after Part 10 aired.

The item is a Woodland Peach Pink candle holder by Hull. The item has a matte finish and was manufactured around 1951. I found my replica prop using Replacements.com

The candle holder is shown from the side in the episode. I also took side and bottom images.

While waiting for a candle to melt to the appropriate screen-matched height, I ended up finding the film location for Miriam Sullivan’s trailer.

One thing I noticed is Richard Horne can be seen through the trailer window lighting the candle. It’s a small detail I missed during the original airing.
