A big cobalt lotus anchors the diamond medallion at the center of this blue-and-white mahjong mat, two cranes standing among scrolling vines and peonies on either side. Layered blue borders and corner peonies build outward. Fine gold linework threads the whole porcelain-style design together.
On a set table it reads crisp and classic. The single cobalt hue on cream makes tiles look like part of the porcelain story, and the diamond layout gives the surface a calm, formal balance. Blue-and-white lovers gravitate to it.
The Art: Porcelain Lotus
Drawn in the blue-and-white ceramic tradition, the design centers a lotus medallion with paired cranes inside a diamond frame, ringed by peony corners, scrolling vines and gold accents. The busiest work fills the border and the center; the panels between stay open so tiles and racks read clearly.
On the Table
The mat is neoprene, a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. Its soft surface quiets the shuffle, protects tile faces, and keeps four walls standing through the discard pile. Racks, dice and jokers stay put. Dye-sublimation printing fixes the cobalt in the fabric, so weekly games keep it true with no cracking or fading.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is the compact square for smaller tables and travel. 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the standard-table field with room for four walls, four racks and the discards. Pick the larger for a regular group.
