I have recreated the mantelpiece after seeing the finale a year and a day ago. It took me months to search for the exact figurine, the exact rubber ball, the exact thimble, and the most challenging piece was the exact plate. Here is my recreation. I was lucky enough to meet Kyle MacLachlan and have the plate signed by him in white paint marker!View attachment 840928

5.75" high, 4.5" long, and 1.5" wide.
It was manufactured by Erphilia (Ebeling & Reuss of Philadelphia), a giftware firm that was founded in 1866 and went out of business sometime after 2002. The company name is combination of the letters E and R (Ebeling & Reuss) and the first letters of the city, Phila[delphia].
The logo consists of the "ER" initials, "EST 1866," "ERPHILA," and "MADE IN GERMANY." This treasure cost me $15 plus shipping from eBay. It took me months to diligently search for the exact same figurine online using the keywords "white porcelain horse figurine."
There were at least three other listings of the Erphila horse on eBay the past 6 months since I shared my discovery on TP fb groups. All were quickly snagged by TP fans/collectors who want to duplicate my recreation.
Excellent job, especially with the brick wall replication! Is that a printed cleaned-up screenshot glued to wood backing?Sabrina Sutherland herself commented on my diorama that I posted on my FB months ago with, "Nice job!" Kyle MacLachlan was impressed when I showed him a picture of the completed mantel, after which I asked him to sign the very rare melamine dinner plate!
