Relive the legend of Mother Barnes with this unique mug! Now you can peer into the future with a fortune-telling cuppa that makes sipping your tea or favourite beverage even more magical.

This mug accompanies our article and podcast on Canada’s 19th century soothsayer Mother Barnes of Plum Hollow, Ontario, to whom visitors would flock from all over North America to have their fortunes told. She also helped solve a major crime and raised 13 children, largely on her own. Not only did Jane Elizabeth Barnes (1800 – 1891) possess remarkable powers to look into the future, she also overcame personal adversity, became highly respected in her community and remains a local legend today. 

This one-of-a-kind cup, designed by HPOC, pays tribute to this remarkable lady and features:

  • A stylish photo of her cabin as it appears today in fully restored condition.
  • A question posed by Mother Barnes before a tea leaf reading: “Won’t you turn a cup?”
  • Script indicating charges for her services: 25 cents or dried apples.
  • A Kingston-Whig Standard June 9, 1888 newspaper excerpt reporting on the phenomenon of Mother Barnes. The full original article can be found here.
  • A tea leaf reading diagram.

Featuring a scratch-resistant finish for long-lasting good looks, these mugs come with an easy-grip handle and a durable white ceramic body.

  • Designed and printed in Canada.
  • Microwave and dishwasher safe.
  • Capacity: 12 oz (0.35 l)
  • Dimensions: 10 cm height, 9.1 cm diameter (11.5 cm with handle)

Shipping $16.95 CAD for the first mug and $2.25 for each extra cup. Maximum of 4 mugs per order.  Shipping time is approx. 4 business days.  Shipping to Canadian addresses only.

Enjoy your tea with a touch of history and mystery. Makes a great gift! 🔮☕️
