The Cosmic cup and saucer set dates from the late 2010s and was made in China for the Goth apparel and lifestyle marketing company Killstar. Like all Killstar goods, it features somewhat jumbled bold black-and-white graphics borrowed from European and American originals, with wording in English. In the case of the Cosmic set, we have a waxing crescent Moon, the symbols for the planets and the signs of the zodiac in the cup; and the Sun, the phases of the moon, the names of seasonal holidays associated with Neo-Pagan religions such as Wicca, and a scattering of constellations in the saucer. Note that the symbols for the signs of the zodiac are upside down. This, and the random way in which the lettering and symbols are displayed, mark this set as the product of Chinese designers who are not particularly familiar with English or American astrology cups and saucers.
