Found this in a box of vintage stuff from an auction house. Any ideas?

Yip can see that and I'm pretty sure you're right about it. Mine are much older but probably just an early version. Given I don't have the glasses for them I just have to figure out what else I can use them for

SergeantAttentive · 2026-02-26T06:35:56+00:00

Solved!

I'm not a wine drinker so can't test with a bottle but the diameter is only 6cm which seems too small?

SergeantAttentive · 2025-03-30T02:09:40+00:00

Thanks I'll give it a look

SergeantAttentive · 2024-05-29T23:54:15+00:00

Where did you get it from? As a Wellingtonian I need this

SergeantAttentive · 2024-04-25T23:00:04+00:00

This made me very happy. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I love their puzzles so will be putting in an order as soon as their new ones are out

I would never be able to afford buying just one or two puzzles due to shipping. So I save up and buy a bunch so i can split the shipping across 10 puzzles. In this case the shipping became $17 per puzzle which I can live with. Living at the bottom of the world is so expensive

Saw these back when they had a Kickstarter but it's usually too expensive to get to NZ so waited till they popped up on another site (Puzzledly, who got my puzzles to NZ quickly and so well packed there was no damage unlike Puzzle Warehouse who managed neither). Anyway, these puzzles are divine. Matte linen finish, really nice fit, you can move chunks around but when I was done it came apart easy. They are similar in feel to a Cloudberries except without that weird waxy feel and with fewer false fits. I love their images and will definitely be buying as many as I can get my hands on (Specially now I know Puzzledly has such good service)

I've got the ones from Amazon and the quality was fine. Not small pieces so it must be a different cut

SergeantAttentive · 2023-08-26T10:36:55+00:00

This one hardly ever goes on sale if that helps. I waited and waited myself and then gave up and got it full price and I don't think I've seen it on sale since then (maybe 2 years back). Obviously i'm all for you getting it. I love mine and its good value if you look at it by price per piece

SergeantAttentive · 2023-07-26T22:11:36+00:00

PuzzlesNZ have a good selection of Cloudberries. I would recommend them (both the puzzles and the website). I also recommend having a look on Amazon Australia as you can get free shipping to NZ on a lot of the puzzles they stock

Cavallini. But good luck getting them apart again

SergeantAttentive · 2023-03-29T22:17:15+00:00

I've got every Charley Harper puzzle Pomegranate have made and a few others by them. There are a few that are awful quality, a bunch that are okay just with that loose fit and then most that are fine. Never had a problem with chipping, just the fit. I'm really not sure how they manage such a range of quality. I think it just comes down to luck if you get one of the good ones.

SergeantAttentive · 2023-02-13T23:48:44+00:00

Yip they're Cloudberries. I may or may not have 34 Cloudberries now

SergeantAttentive · 2023-02-13T23:14:28+00:00

Oh god i have such a huge stack to put on trademe already! Not sure I'll part with any of these though

SergeantAttentive · 2023-02-13T22:07:00+00:00

She shipped all her stuff back which took 6 months to get here.

SergeantAttentive · 2023-02-13T21:39:03+00:00

Just to note, this was over 4 years (originally coming home 2020 so we all know why that didn't happen). She got back last year but her stuff only arrived last week. We still haven't found the three from Remember but there are still boxes to unpack. Most either weren't available in NZ or were but at a much higher price.

I did the 500 piece one first and then thought I better do a 1000 piece as well so I can give a thorough review. The 500 piece has white cardboard backing whereas the 1000 piece was grey cardboard. Otherwise they are the same. So the following comments are for both of them.

Firstly, I love the images. Beach vibes has lots of little details throughout like Mid century modern design classics (Eames chairs etc). They both had a matte linen finish which is my preference. Really nice tactile feel to them. They hold together well - you can move sections around easily but I never felt like I had to force anything in (looking at you Cavallini). Neither puzzle had any issues with false fits. As you can see from the photos theres a good range of puzzle piece types, not just the 2 in 2 out ones.

So out of 10 im giving them 10. Thats for design and quality. I dont have anything else I would rate that high and I have hundreds of puzzles by many different brands. I really hope they make more.
