The Nelros Cup of Fortune, designed by Neville Ross, was a very early symbol cup plus astrology cup, first marketed in 1904. It was also the first to contain. Obviously inspired by the 1898 Fortuna Fortune Telling Tea Cup manufactured in the United States of America by John W. Hanley, it set the style for many derivative cups of later decades, particularly:
- The Jon Anton Taltos Fortune Telling Cup of 1975
- The Royal Kendal Taltos Fortune Telling Cup of 1980, * The Zarka Fortune Telling Teacup Set of 1985
- The Jane Lyle Cup of Destiny of 2001
- The Aynsley Cup of Fortune 2018 Commemorative Edition
Although it came with its own very adequate instruction booklet, this cup set was both popular enough and unusual enough that it rated its own very chapter in Cicely Kent's book on tea leaf reading.
