"Your Fortune in a Tea-Cup" is a very rare set of 12 full-colour postcards issued in Great Britain by an unknown publisher between the First and Second World Wars. It is essentially a series of flash cards or teaching instructions in cup reading.
These British tea leaf postcards were intended to be sent as greetings or distributed at a party, according the the instructions on their wrapper, but they can also be used by fledgling tasseomancers as study cups on the way to learning a basic list of tea leaf symbols.
