This Sunday, while you're having brunch, amaze your friends with some tea reading. The art of Tasseomancy is a field of divination that began in medieval times and can be practiced with tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediment. I think reading your fortune after a few glasses of wine could be interesting.
For me, the opportunity here is a new collection. Tea-reading cups were made by potters in England and the United States beginning in the late nineteenth century. Of course they were; those Victorians had it going on! They're still being made today. Prices range from under $50 to over $400. Can you imagine an entire collection of tea-reading cups? That would be just grand.
Here are a few I found.
