Divination by means of tea leaves or coffee grounds is an ages-old practice especially favoured by women, who excel at it. There are essentially three systems in use: readings of the symbolic image-patterns seen in the leaves or grounds, readings that combine symbolic tea leaf images with zodiacal and planetary positions demarked within the cup and saucer, and readings that combine symbolic tea leaf images with cartomancy (playing card reading) images located within the cup. We carry a limited stock of VINTAGE and ANTIQUE collector’s tea leaf or fortune telling cups and saucer sets, including antiques such as Red Rose Tea promotionals, Alfred Meakin, J & G Meakin, Aynsley, Royal Kendal, etc., and more modern vintage-style reproductions.
