Featured Tasseography Mug

Not an antique, but I've had it for decades. Never used it, though - just a conversation piece. Tasseography is the mystic ability to read fortunes in tea leaf patterns. No ID on cup.

I like these but they are too expensive:

 

Thanks for your research, JB. Mine doesn't have anything on the bottom of the cup or saucer except an oval sticker that says "Made in Japan".
