Throughout Twin Peaks’ second season, a coffee cup with a blue eagle design appears in various places around the Double R Diner. This was produced by New York-based Syracuse China, who you may remember from a previous article as the maker of the airbrushed dinnerware used at the Blue Pine Lodge.
A handheld tape recorder is likely the first prop that comes to mind when one thinks of Twin Peaks. I’ve previously detailed the three recorders in Agent Cooper’s arsenal, but he isn’t the only character who makes use of such gadgets. To my infinite delight, I recently acquired Bobby Briggs’ screen-used Olympus microcassette recorder from…
Steven and I have spent plenty of time tracking the unique kitchenware used in Twin Peaks, like the airbrushed Syracuse china from the Blue Pine Lodge and the vintage Fire-King mugs at the Sheriff station. However, an unassuming white mug that appears in the Great Northern’s dining hall might be one of the show’s most…
You’ve probably noticed the jadeite green coffee mug seen around the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department (which Steven Miller first wrote about here in 2018). But did you know the station also has an identical counterpart with a peach colored finish?
On this Sunday afternoon, I am sad to report on the loss of another Twin Peaks actor who had a brief role two episodes from season two. Clarence Williams III, who played Special Agent Roger Hardy, passed due to colon cancer on June 4 at the age of 81. Here is my Love Letter to a…

It isn’t until the second season of Twin Peaks that we step into Sheriff Truman’s office. There, a whole new world of props and decorations are introduced. One such item is a paperweight distributed by Rosenthal-Netter, Inc. which features a brass owl on a marble base. Here’s a closer look at the latest prop I’ve…
Time for another detailed look at a set from Twin Peaks in a recurring series titled “Setting the Stage.” For this exercise, I wanted to see how the views looking out from the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department changed during the series and film. The inspiration for this story came from a 1989 newspaper article which had an…
One of my favorite characters in Twin Peaks is Windom Earle as played by Kenneth Welsh. Known for his many costume changes late in season two, i loved his portrayal of Agent Cooper’s former partner. For this Costuming Peaks article, I’m taking a deep dive into Earle’s many outfits (faux mustache not required).
