Vintage Mah Jong Set with Case and Rules

Description

This beautifully preserved vintage Mah Jong set represents the classic Chinese domino game that swept the Western world in the early-to-mid 20th century. The set features a full complement of hand-painted ivory-colored tiles with both traditional Chinese character suits and richly illustrated honor tiles, all housed in a handsome fabric-covered case with teal interior compartments. The set includes wooden racks, dice, scoring sticks, and a booklet of Standard Rules for the Chinese Domino Game of Mah Jong — a charming period accessory that adds historical authenticity. The honor and flower tiles display colorful decorative artwork consistent with export-quality sets made for the American and European markets. Mah Jong sets of this style and completeness are increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage games, Asian export ware, and mid-century Americana. A wonderful conversation piece and a fully playable heirloom game.
