American Mahjong Set Amalfi Coast Mahjong

A lemon-scented morning on a terrace above the Italian sea. This set trades the usual ivory and green for cobalt blue, lemon yellow and crisp white, with all the sunny charm of the coast: lemon groves, hand-painted majolica, striped sailboats.

Every suit is dressed for a summer in southern Italy. The Dots become cobalt and yellow majolica medallions, each one a little painted flower like the tiles on a Positano staircase. The Bams turn into leafy lemon branches in bright yellow and green, with a blue tit perched on the 1 Bam. The Craks keep their classic red numerals beneath red-and-white striped sailboats, seagulls and rolling waves. The Winds show pastel cliffside villages, sailboats and a flower-lined stairway above the bay for East, North, South and West. The Dragons take their cue from old seaside legends: a red dragon rising from the waves beneath a golden arch for the Crak Dragon, a green dragon in the same pose for the Bam Dragon, and a cobalt and yellow checkered frame for Soap. The Jokers are 10 cheerful cobalt donkeys, each one wearing a majolica saddle blanket and carrying two baskets of fresh lemons down from the groves. The eight Flower tiles bring pink oleander, blue hydrangeas, pink roses, yellow tulips, sunflowers, lavender, coral carnations and red geraniums, each in a hand-painted majolica pot.

The tiles are made from premium acrylic, with crisp white faces and glossy lemon-yellow backs. A cobalt and yellow stripe runs along the side of each tile. The matching mat frames a seaside terrace, a striped vase and a plate of fresh lemons with blossoming lemon branches in every corner, which makes it a gift for anyone who left a piece of her heart in Italy. Cobalt blue push racks with a scalloped edge add a wave of color to every seat.

Set it up for porch afternoons, girls’ trips, or the whole Tuesday-night table. This one’s made for lemonade, la dolce vita and calling “Mahj!” all summer long.
