Morris Bird Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Table Mat

Four spotted thrushes gather around a strawberry vine on this Morris bird mahjong mat, each with a berry in its beak, set against a deep indigo ground densely worked with scrolling leaves, tulips and small daisies in the William Morris manner. A leafy vine band steps out to a marigold-and-rose Arts-and-Crafts border.

It reads like a piece of Victorian wallpaper. The dark blue ground makes the birds and berries glow, tiles read clearly against it, and the flowing foliage border frames the play like a Morris textile. Guests recognize the strawberry-thief pattern right away.

The Art: Thrushes and Strawberries

The thrushes are painted in soft brown with speckled breasts in a symmetrical, tapestry-like layout among strawberry vines, tulips and acanthus scrolls on indigo. A vine band frames the panel, and the outer Arts-and-Crafts border repeats red and gold rosettes. The pattern is dense but balanced, so the hands still read the field between rounds. A true Morris bird-and-berry design is what sets this one apart.

On the Table

Neoprene body, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface hushes the shuffle and spares tile faces. Walls hold their line. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color into the fabric so it survives 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 carrying to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (80 x 80 cm) is the full-size field most groups pick for a standard card table, roomy enough for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Pick the larger one if your four like space to spread.

A Gift for the Morris Lover

Brush it clean after play, wipe with a damp cloth if the evening got lively, and store it rolled rather than folded.
