A blue bird perches among blue-and-white peonies and gilded blossom sprigs at the edges of this bluebird stripe mahjong mat, drawn in a soft chinoiserie style on a cream center framed by a blue-and-white pinstripe border. A small blue medallion holds the middle. The center stays open and calm.
On a set table it reads crisp and classic, that blue-and-white porcelain look with a preppy stripe. Guests notice the bird first, then the pale peonies and gilt sprigs, then the medallion at center. The cream field keeps ivory tiles and dark racks easy to read, and the open middle gives your hands room.
The Art: Bluebird and Peony
Drawn in a soft chinoiserie hand, the bird, peonies and blossom sprigs gather at the corners and edges where the walls rise, leaving the center clear for tile play. The pinstripe border frames it cleanly. Dye-sublimation keeps the blues crisp and the golds warm.
On the Table
Neoprene gives it a smooth fabric top and a non-slip rubber base that grips the table. The soft surface quiets tile shuffling, that twittering of the sparrows through the Charleston, and treats tile faces kindly. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit where you place them. Dye-sublimation printing sets the color in the fibers, so weekly games won't crack or fade it.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is the compact square for smaller tables, tight corners and travel to the club. 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Full table? Size up.
