Every new player has one more question, and every tile deserves one.

For anyone taking mahjong lessons, this mug says what every lesson feels like. The A Question Fits Every Tile artwork tucks a smiling tile inside a big pink question mark.

The artwork: a smiling tile with a question

A QUESTION arcs over the top in rounded ivory capitals, and FITS EVERY TILE curves along the bottom. In the middle, a little cream tile with rosy cheeks, a happy face and green dots leans into a glossy pink question mark, with tiny mint and purple splashes around it. The question-mark design is narrow and tall, about 1.8 inches wide and 2.7 inches tall on the 11 oz, and 2 by 3 inches on the 15 oz.

Answers to the size question

• Glossy black ceramic lets the pink question mark and smiling tile shine.
• 11 oz: 3.85 in (9.8 cm) tall and 3.35 in (8.5 cm) across, a comfortable size for a lesson.
• 15 oz: 4.7 in (12 cm) tall and also 3.35 in (8.5 cm) across, for long practice sessions full of questions.
• Dishwasher and microwave safe, so the only thing you need to learn is the game.
• Lead and BPA-free material, one less thing to ask about.

Who it's for

The friend in their first season of lessons, the student who keeps a card of hands nearby and the patient teacher who answers every question. Give it at the end of a first course of lessons, for a student's birthday, or as a thank-you to a patient mahjong teacher.

Quick answers

Is this a good gift for someone learning mahjong?

Yes. The joke is that every tile brings a question, which most new players will recognize, and it is just as fitting for the teacher who answers them.

How much of the mug is printed?

Just one area: the tile, question mark and lettering are printed once, facing out opposite the handle; the handle side and back are plain glossy black.

Which words are on it?

A QUESTION above the tile and FITS EVERY TILE below, a line that works whichever version of the game your lessons teach.

Care

Dishwasher safe and microwave safe.
