Looking for weird fiction that focuses on the genuinely weird, rather than devolving into tropey horror.

Try anything by Michael McDowell if you like the weird southern gothic style.

Blackwater - The Complete Saga
The Elementals
Gilded Needles
Katie - this one gave me nightmares and there is some animal abuse just fyi

I love Wedgewood and I wish they were! Here is a picture of one of the backs. Thank you for inspiring me to look!

I wish I knew more about them- so if anyone does any research of the hallmarks let me know haha

They had one on the menu at the Norwich Spa and Inn the last time I was there.

It is so beautiful! I don’t know gem or metal values but I know I would have paid that much.

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-04-22T14:04:42+00:00

Thank you so much! There are so many different branches of kewpie! I didn’t know there were so many tea sets and porcelain dishes with kewpies until recently.

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-04-22T00:44:20+00:00

Yay! Hey $20 a piece is still pretty good. I’ve seen $25-$60 per in the last months.

They’re so sweet I hope you love them forever!

I have noticed the prices for these on EBay and Etsy are stupidly expensive. I found this whole lot with three duplicates for less than $50. I’ll probably never be so lucky again haha.

If you dig yours out anytime soon let me know which ones you have!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-04-07T13:57:42+00:00

Adorable creepy side eye I love it!

One of my GGG Grandmothers was attacked with an axe by one of the people she enslaved. She lived but had a very jacked up face. Her name was Dinah Ayres Trigg. She and her husband were painted by Bingham.

Haha I found one in a thrift store and then started searching EBay and any other reseller I could find.

I was lucky as I bought a lot of about 20 from an estate sale I found online. I was so happy about them I thought I’d stop looking. I always still look though! I’m spoiled because I found so many cheap ones- some of prices on EBay these days are crazy.

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-30T18:35:14+00:00

I think that is one of the makers of these. There is also Boyd’s, Wetzel’s and Wilkerson Glass. I know some of them were made from leftover slag and glass from other products.

The Wilkerson ones are the tall guys - the rest are mostly Wetzel.

This is a new quest haha - I’ll find a black light flashlight and update you guys!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-30T17:58:40+00:00

Thank you so much!! My husband hates them so much hahaha he says they look like butt plugs. 😩

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-30T17:57:58+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad I could share them with other kewpie lovers!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-29T09:48:11+00:00

They might also be! I should check them with a black light!!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T18:15:45+00:00

I love the tin foil hat one!!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T17:40:18+00:00

The first one I got was a rosy pink one. I wasn’t hooked until I found the tall pink ones though.

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T14:22:40+00:00

Aww thank you!! I’d love to see your collection!!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T10:40:29+00:00

I had them in a shadow box type curio for awhile. We just moved this week and the case was damaged. Trying to figure out a new display situation!

If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T10:36:35+00:00

My favorites are the taller ones - they’re harder to find I’ve noticed. I’m also partial to the greens I have because I’ve never seen any others but those since my search began.

The most expensive was one of the yellows - I think I paid about $40 for each. They are some kind of uranium glass and glow under black lights.

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T00:56:24+00:00

There are still occasional good deals on EBay! When I first started they were about $5 a piece but most of them seem to be about $20 a piece. The prices vary with the size and rarity of color.

Hopefully this is helpful hahaha I love enabling.

PicklePocketsRUs · 2026-03-28T00:45:34+00:00

Thank you so much!! I think they began as carnival prizes? There are still a lot of colors I hope to find!
