A salmon pink and green Low Doris Cup of Knowledge with playing cards by Aynsley

Cartomancy cups and saucers are decorated with images of scattered playing cards, usually either from a 32-card euchre deck (as used in Lenormand style card reading) or a 52 card poker deck (as used in Italian and English style card reading). The tea leaves are read with their usual meanings, but their imagery is combined with the meanings traditionally given to the playing cards upon which the tea-leaf symbols lay. For instance, in a fortune telling cup of this kind, a heart overlaying the card of the Queen of Spades may mean the love or a dark woman, a divorced woman, or a widowed woman.
