Caspar Curiosities

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.

Featured Collection
Lemurian Quartz, often called the "Stone of Ancient Wisdom," is a rare variety of Quartz distinguished by horizontal striations or ladder-like markings along its sides. Believed to be programmed with the knowledge of the ancient Lemurian civilization, these crystals are treasured for spiritual awakening, guidance, and connection to higher realms.
Chakra: Crown, Third Eye, Heart
Lemurian Quartz is a crystal of enlightenment, memory, and divine connection. Spiritually, it is said to carry the sacred knowledge and healing vibrations of the lost civilization of Lemuria, offering guidance and wisdom for personal and collective growth. It enhances meditation, intuition, and connection with higher consciousness. Emotionally, Lemurian Quartz helps heal old wounds, release blockages, and strengthen self-love and compassion, making it a tool for deep transformation.
Lemurian Quartz resonates with the crown chakra, connecting you to divine light and universal wisdom. It also activates the third eye chakra for intuition and insight, and the heart chakra for compassion and spiritual love. This alignment fosters balance between wisdom, intuition, and emotional healing.
