This page links you to lists of tea cups and saucers organized according to the style of divination they employ.

• Astrology Cups and Saucers
• Cartomancy Cups and Saucers
• Numerology Cups and Saucers
• Symbol Cups and Saucers

Note that some cups employ more than one style of divination in the same cup, or on the cup versus the saucer. For instance, the Nelros Cup of Fortune has an Astrological saucer, but the cup interior contains both Symbols and Astrology marks.

In the four examples shown on this page, a similar confluence of multiplicity of approaches is apparent:

The Alfred Meakin Signs of the Zodiac saucer is actually part of a Cartomancy [[[:Category:Cup of Knowledge|Cup of Knowledge]] set, and the saucer is also Numerological.

Likewise, the Marguerite Scott Mystic Teacup Numerological cup shown here is also Symbolic and Astrological.

Finally, the Paragon Signs and Omens cup contains Symbols, but every Symbol has a number next to it, and these may be used in a Numerology analysis, if the reader so desires.
