For your consideration is this utterly fabulous antique Cup of Knowledge fortune telling tea cup and saucer, dating to approximately 1930. Manufactured by Jackson & Gosling's Grovenor China of England. 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.

Mexican Fire Agate (8-mm) Beaded Bracelet. Many of the beads are not quite round. A few have noticeable defects.
I usually request 6.5-inches bracelets. This "7.0-inches" bracelet fits my wrist well. I am glad to have found this bracelet for under $20. Great value overall!

The day after I got my chrysoprase bracelet I wore it to lunch and got three compliments on it right away. It’s shining with bright intense color and the photo does not show it as well but it is stunning. I apologize for the lighting in the photo. This goes with so many summer colors and probably winter as well. It is gorgeous!

The peaceful feeling of this flower agate really comes out in this tumble. It’s very smooth and high polished and goes perfectly with my collection of Temple stones. I love displaying it in my bowl. Absolutely perfect!
