Bright kingfishers perch among blue-and-white peonies on this powder kingfisher mahjong mat, their orange breasts warm against a soft powder-blue ground. A round porcelain-style medallion holds a single bird at the center, framed by a greek-key border.
On a set table it reads fresh and classic, that blue-and-white porcelain look with a spark of orange. Guests notice the little kingfishers first, then the layered peonies, then the greek-key line tracing the frame. The pale blue center stays open, so ivory tiles and dark racks read cleanly with room to play.
The Art: Kingfisher and Peony
Drawn in a classic chinoiserie hand, the peonies build in blue and white while kingfishers rest along the branches, their orange the one warm accent. Density gathers at the corners and border where the walls rise, leaving the center clear for tiles. Dye-sublimation keeps the blues crisp and the orange bright.
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.
