The Porcelain Starter Kit is a complete table in one bag: the full 160 tile Porcelain set, four clear racks with pushers, chips, a wind indicator, dice and a how-to-play manual, packed in a quilted carrying set with a zippered pouch for the tiles and a drawstring sleeve for the racks. Nothing else to buy before the first game.
Porcelain is the quietest set in the line and the one that looks most at home on a table left set up between games. The whole thing is drawn as blue-and-white china: a crane in flight on the one bam, ginger jars climbing the craks, and small painted vases on the flowers. The backs are a solid cobalt and the bonded layers run from deep blue to white down the side of every tile, so a stacked wall reads as a gradient. Faces are white, the suits are inked in cobalt and sky blue, and the dragons are picked out in gold. It is the set to buy if the others are too loud.
