Blue birds perch among blue-and-white peonies on this sage bluebird mahjong mat, set on a soft sage ground with a greek-key inner frame. A small floral wreath circles a bird at the center. The palette is calm porcelain blue against muted green.
On a set table it reads composed and classic, like an old painted screen. Guests notice the perched birds first, then the layered peonies, then the greek-key line tracing the frame. The sage field keeps ivory tiles and dark racks both easy to read, and the quiet center gives your hands room.
The Art: Bluebird and Peony
Drawn in a classic chinoiserie hand, the peonies build petal on petal in blue and white while birds rest along the flowering branches. Density gathers at the corners where the walls rise, leaving the center open for play. Dye-sublimation keeps the blues crisp and the sage soft.
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.
