The Tile Cups
Square-set porcelain in the shape of a tile, each face taken from the suit it is named for — 中, 發, 南, 八萬. As a set of four, or as singles for a table that plays favourites.
Mahjong · Bridge · Cards
Cups, napkins and small pieces for the afternoons you host on purpose.

Collection one
Tiles, characters and suits, drawn straight from the game itself.
Square-set porcelain in the shape of a tile, each face taken from the suit it is named for — 中, 發, 南, 八萬. As a set of four, or as singles for a table that plays favourites.
Jade green, scattered with characters and dots. Substantial enough to fold properly, pretty enough to leave unfolded.
Cork, cut square and round, burnt through with the tile faces — 中, 發, 八萬, 順. Four to a set, one for each seat.
White jade bodhi beads, each one carved and inked as a tile. Brought back from the temple at Mount Putuo, where a string like this is worn for luck at the table.
Collection two
For bridge, for rummy, for canasta — and every afternoon that runs on cards.
Spade, heart, diamond, club — each court set on square porcelain, with a lidded top and a red finial. The lid keeps the tea warm through a long rubber.
All four suits, quartered. Black, white, and a single red.
Four small dishes, one to each suit, rimmed in antique gold. For olives, for sweets, for the rings that come off before play.
Chosen by hand and kept in small numbers. Not all of it belongs on the table — some of it you wear, and a good deal of it is bought to give away.
We add pieces slowly, and only when one is worth adding.
