Step into a world where etiquette endures—even among monsters. In Two Dowager Ogresses Having Tea, James Christensen invites us to witness an unexpectedly refined moment between two grand, grotesque dames of a forgotten realm. Dressed in elaborate finery and surrounded by the trappings of civilized society, these ogresses sip their tea with surprising grace, offering a humorous yet poignant take on the absurdity of appearances and the universality of ritual. A celebration of imagination, irony, and the enduring charm of teatime, this piece is classic Christensen: whimsical, wise, and wonderfully strange.

Crafted in our Vermont workshop, each wooden jigsaw puzzle is meticulously hand-cut by a highly skilled Stave artisan to be a luxury, heirloom-quality puzzle. No computers or lasers. They are often crafted with an irregular edge that will vary depending on the puzzle's size.

You can personalize your puzzle by requesting names, initials, and dates crafted into it and we can fill the puzzle with charming, clever, and elegant whimsy-shaped pieces. Silhouette shapes can include logos, people in action, a specific car model, or animal breed. If you prefer, you can leave it to the artisan to choose the shapes and surprise you! You'll also discover special cutting features within the puzzle designed to surprise, confound, and delight you!
