The Mothership Silicone Hex Mat in Plague Doctor is an 8-inch food-grade platinum-cured silicone dab mat featuring Mothership Glass's Plague Doctor artwork debossed directly into the surface. The Plague Doctor features Mothership's gothic medieval imagery — the long-beaked mask, dark robes, and ominous silhouette of the historical plague doctor rendered in the brand's debossed silicone format. The anti-skid base keeps your rig locked in place during sessions, and the hexagonal shape connects modularly with other Mothership Hex Mats to build a full custom dab station. Available at Angie's Boutique, Los Angeles' authorized Mothership Glass dealer since 1990.

Mothership Hex Mat — Plague Doctor
Mothership Glass built their reputation on functional art — rigs and accessories where the craftsmanship is as important as the performance. The Hex Mat series extends that philosophy to your dab station surface. Each mat features original Mothership artwork debossed directly into platinum-cured silicone — the same food-grade material used in commercial kitchen equipment, rated to 500°F and fully dishwasher-safe.
The Plague Doctor is one of Mothership Glass's most distinctive dark-art designs — drawing from medieval history and gothic visual tradition to create a design that feels genuinely ominous. The beaked mask of the plague doctor has become an iconic image in alternative and counter-culture visual art, and Mothership's interpretation is among the most detailed in their catalog. For collectors drawn to the darker, more gothic end of the Mothership aesthetic, the Plague Doctor mat is the natural choice.
At Angie's Boutique, 838 N Broadway in Downtown LA, we've carried Mothership Glass since they established themselves as the benchmark for premium functional art. Browse the full Mothership Glass collection or explore all dab mats for comparison options.
⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For
Ideal For:
- Mothership Glass collectors who want accessories that extend their rig's visual universe to the full station
- Dabbers who want a heat-resistant, non-slip surface that can handle daily torch and hot-glass contact
- Buyers building a modular Mothership dab station using multiple connected hex mats
- Gift buyers who want a meaningful Mothership accessory at an accessible price point
Not Recommended For:
- Buyers who just need a basic protective surface — a standard silicone mat costs significantly less
- Users who want a large mat — at 8 inches, the Hex Mat is sized for a single rig station, not a full table cover
⚠️ Known Limitations
- 8-inch diameter covers a single rig station — pair with additional hex mats to cover a wider surface
- Silicone can absorb strong odors over time — rinse with isopropyl alcohol after heavy concentrate sessions
- Debossed design is recessed, not raised — resin can collect in the grooves and requires a cotton swab to clean thoroughly

Common Questions About the Mothership Plague Doctor Hex Mat
Is the Plague Doctor design printed on or permanently part of the silicone?
The Plague Doctor design is debossed — permanently worked into the silicone mold during manufacturing. It's not a surface print, sticker, or applied graphic, which means it cannot peel, fade, or scratch off. The design will look the same after hundreds of ISO cleanings and dishwasher cycles as it does on day one.
Can I connect multiple Mothership Hex Mats together?
Yes — that's the point of the hexagonal shape. The flat edges of each Mothership Hex Mat align perfectly with the edges of other Mothership Hex Mats, allowing you to build a continuous modular dab station surface. You can mix and match different colorways to create a custom layout across your entire setup.
Is the Plague Doctor design part of a broader Mothership collection or a standalone design?
The Plague Doctor is part of Mothership Glass's broader dark-art visual direction, which includes designs like Strange Deities and aspects of the Forbidden Fruit series. It's not tied to a specific limited rig drop — it's an ongoing design that Mothership has used across multiple product formats. The mat version is the most accessible way to own the Plague Doctor imagery at a non-limited-edition price point.
How does the Plague Doctor mat look under different lighting conditions?
The debossed Plague Doctor design creates the strongest visual impression under direct, angled lighting — the recessed lines cast shadows that give the figure depth and dimensionality. Under flat overhead lighting the design is still visible but less dramatic. The contrast between the raised silicone surface and the debossed lines is most striking under a lamp or torch light.
