This fantastic over sized teacup copyrighted in 1949 depicts two lines of symbols inside the cup, with a row of astrological signs and symbols around the top rim of the cup. In the bowl is a sun with 10 sections that are numbered. Some of the symbols that are depicted in the cup are wedding bells, a red heart, horseshoe and scissors, just to name a few. Included with this listing (cup) is a reproduc...ed copy of the directions on how to it. The instructions are the exact copy of what was enclosed with this cup when originally purchased. This particular fortune telling cup does not come with a saucer, it is meant to be over sized.The cup is in beautiful vintage condition. I can find no chips, cracks or crazing.
The art of tea reading or tasseography dates back to medieval times and evolved to fortune readings over time. Imagination, insight and symbolism are the three keys to be able to read your tea leaves.
