Aynsley Cup of Fortune 2018 Commemorative Edition Solid Yellow
From Mystic Tea Room
In 1904, the British designer Neville Ross created the Nelros Cup of Fortune, which was produced for Ross by in. The Nelros Cup of Fortune was a very early symbol cup as well as an astrology cup. It was also the first to contain poetry on the cup.
The rights to produce the Nelros Cup of Fortune were soon transferred to the Aynsley company, and the cup was manufactured for decades on a succession of pottery shapes. Eventually it was discontinued.
In 2018, Aynsley produced a new version of this cup and saucer for distribution in Japan. The 2018 Aynsley Cup of Fortune Commemorative Edition features an open cup shape, vivid solid colours, and gilded rims and edges. This series of cups was manufactured for distribution exclusively in Japan, apparently as a way to keep the Cup of Fortune trademark active and up to date. These cups were produced in a limited run, and came in special boxes with instructions in Japanese.
