The Nelros Cup of Fortune was a very early symbol cup plus astrology cup, first marketed in 1904. It was the first cup 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 Taltos Fortune Telling Cup and the Jane Lyle Cup of Destiny
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.
