Alfred Meakin VINTAGE Cup of Knowledge (1924-1925)

Alfred Meakin was one of the six British pottery companies that joined forces during the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 – 1925 to craft “The Cup of Knowledge” divination tea cups and saucers. Alfred Meakin was the only pottery of the six that produced cups and saucers on a cream-colored clay body that was not English bone china. After this time, Alfred Meakin teamed with the Lipton Tea company to produce fortune telling sets and a booklet about tea leaf reading marked for Lipton’s.
