According to its instruction booklet, "How to Read the Romany Fortune-Telling Tea Cup," the Arthur J. Wilkinson Romany Cup of Fortune was "given with the Good Wishes of the Editors of Weekly Welcome, Woman's Way, Red Letter, Red Star Weekly, Family Star, My Weekly, and Secrets."
These were cheaply printed magazines for working-class women, and it was quite common for them to host sweepstakes consisting of small "domestic" prizes. As late as 1975, fortune telling tea cups were still being distributed to letter-writers and giveaway winners in women's magazines in Great Britain.
