For your consideration is this utterly fabulous antique Paragon Cup of Knowledge fortune telling tea cup and saucer, dating to approximately 1930. Manufactured by Paragon China of England, both the cup and saucer retain their original maker's marks on the underside. This beautiful pinnk colored set features hand-painted details on both the cup and saucer, adding to its charm and collectibility.
The Cup of Knowledge was designed for the enduring Victorian and Edwardian fascination with tasseography (also known as tassomancy), the art of reading tea leaves. Unlike many fortune telling cups of the period that relied heavily on playing card imagery, Paragon's version features a beautiful assortment of symbolic illustrations used in divination and tea leaf reading. Around the rim of the cup is the charming inscription, "Many Curious Things I See When Telling Fortunes in Your Tea," adding to the whimsy and appeal of this unique design.
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 beautiful hand-painted details and transfer designs remain wonderfully preserved, making this a desirable addition to any antique teacup 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.
Fortune telling cups have been widely reproduced in recent years, but original examples such as this one can be identified by their authentic period maker's marks. Both the cup and saucer bear the original Paragon marks appropriate to the era of production. Reproductions often lack marks entirely or feature altered versions that differ from the originals in spelling, design, or placement.

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.
