For your consideration is this utterly fabulous antique Cup of Knowledge fortune telling tea cup and saucer, dating to approximately 1930. Manufactured by Alfred Meakin pottery of England in the marigold design. Both the cup and saucer retain their original maker’s marks on the underside.
The interior of the cup is decorated with images of playing cards, allowing the user to combine the arts of cartomancy (fortune telling with cards) and tasseomancy (tea leaf reading). As the tea leaves settle within the cup, the surrounding playing card symbols provide additional layers of meaning and insight, creating a unique divination experience. These fascinating fortune telling cups blended two popular methods of fortune telling and were highly fashionable during the early 20th century.
This is a genuine antique example, not a modern reproduction. The cup and saucer are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs noted. The transfer designs remain beautifully preserved, making this a wonderful addition to any tea cup collection, curiosity cabinet, Victorian décor display, or fortune telling collection.
You will receive the exact antique cup and saucer pictured. As with all authentic antiques, minor signs of age and manufacture may be present and are considered part of the piece’s history and charm. Please examine photos carefully as they are part of the description.

Blue tiger's eye is my favorite, and they all look very beautiful. The seller gave me an extra one as well which was an awesome surprise. Came in a little baggy with bubble wrap alongside my other items, and a thank you note.
Smells good right out of the package, I could smell it in my mailbox - haven't lit it yet but I'm sure it will be great. Arrived with no hassle and on time.
