A classic blue-and-white willow scene fills this blue willow mahjong mat, a cobalt pagoda rising beside a lake where a junk boat glides under a willow tree, figures crossing an arched bridge and cranes flying past a pale moon. A big peony blooms in the foreground, framed by a blue floral border strung with pagodas, boats and vines on cream.
It reads timeless and unmistakably blue willow. The cream ground keeps tiles easy to read, the porcelain scene sits behind the play, and the floral border frames the table like an heirloom plate. Guests recognize the willow pattern right away.
The Art: Willow and Pagoda
The whole scene is drawn in cobalt blue on cream in the blue-willow china tradition, willow, pagoda, bridge and boat rendered with fine porcelain-transfer detail and a bold peony up front. A blue floral band frames the panel, and the outer border scrolls vines with little pagoda and boat vignettes. Detail fills the landscape but keeps the center readable where hands move between rounds. A true blue willow scene is what carries this design.
On the Table
Neoprene body, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface hushes the shuffle and is gentle on tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the blue into the fabric so it holds through years of weekly games without cracking or fading.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) fits smaller tables, tight corners and travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field most groups choose for a standard card table, with space for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. American and Chinese mahjong players alike tend to like the roomier size.
