The Ucagco Cup of Fortune is a strange divination cup. There are two stylea -- one is a Cartomancy Cup and the other displays dice on it. Like most Ucagco products, it was made in Japan. Not all Ucagco pieces are back-stamped "Japan" or "Made in Japan" but all of them originally came with a red and silver foil sticker indicating the country of origin and the Ucagco name. Although the exact first year of maufacture is unknown, this three-legged cup is typical of post-World War Two Ucagco export ware, so i am assigning it the arbitrary date of 1946, although it may have started production from 1950 to 1955. I await a sales catalogue that will provide a proper date.
