Category:Cup of Knowledge (3) Booths
From Mystic Tea Room
Booths, also known as Booths Silicon China, was one of the six British pottery companies that joined forces during the Wembley British Empire Exhibition in 1924 - 1925 to craft "The Cup of Knowledge" divination tea cups and saucers.
Booths cups marked for the exhibition came in two shapes, a plain rounded cup and a shape characterized by a raised ridged band around the exterior. They are glazed with bright plain-colour exteriors and black edge-trim. The ivory Booths cups are either plain or have an applied band of formal gilded trim.
