The cup is warm, the tiles are waiting, and the first draw is still a few sips away.
This mahjong cup is for the quiet minute before game night begins. The Before the First Draw artwork shows a bamboo tile rising from a steaming cup among wildflowers.
The artwork: a cup before the game
BEFORE THE arcs across the top in ivory serif capitals. Below it, a cream tile showing three green bamboo stalks rises on curls of steam from a cream teacup with a terracotta band, resting on its saucer among small orange flowers and green sprigs. FIRST DRAW runs straight across the bottom in clean ivory capitals. From BEFORE THE down to FIRST DRAW, the printed size is about 2.6 inches wide and 2.8 inches tall on the 11 oz, and 2.8 by 3 inches on the 15 oz.
The cup before the game
- Glossy black ceramic sets off the cream teacup and orange wildflowers.
- 11 oz: 3.85 in (9.8 cm) tall and 3.35 in (8.5 cm) across, the quiet cup before the tiles go out.
- 15 oz: 4.7 in (12 cm) tall and 3.35 in (8.5 cm) across, enough to last from the first draw to the last.
- Dishwasher and microwave safe, so a fresh cup is always minutes away.
- Lead and BPA-free material for your pre-game ritual.
Who it's for
The player who makes a cup before every game, the early arrival who likes a quiet minute before the tiles go out and anyone who loves a cozy, floral look. Tuck it into a birthday or holiday parcel, or leave it as a thank-you for the host who always has the kettle on.
