Claire with the Pair Ceramic Duck

The Rather Fabulous Duck Your Shelf Has Been Waiting For
Look, I'll be perfectly honest. This is a silly idea. But aren't the best things in life just a touch ridiculous? Meet Claire, a thoroughly handmade ceramic duck with, well, rather more personality than your average bath companion. She's been wheel-thrown, carefully painted in a natty red bikini, and fired to precisely 1240 degrees. The result is something that makes you smile the moment you see her.
Why Choose Claire
Entirely Handcrafted: Each duck is wheel-thrown from white stoneware clay, painted with meticulous attention, then biscuit fired and glazed through a two-stage kiln process. It's rather a lot of faffing about, actually, but the result is utterly worth it.
Made with Proper Values: Crafted using vegan materials from ethical suppliers, finished with clean energy, and packaged in compostable materials. Nothing dreadfully corporate, just genuinely thoughtful making.
A Conversation Starter: Whether perched on your desk, gracing a shelf, or gifted to someone who appreciates a bit of good-natured cheek, Claire provokes smiles and the occasional bewildered double-take. Precisely as intended.
Handcrafted with Intention: This duck was created with the same ambition as all handmade pieces here: to bring a moment of silly joy into your life. Nothing more, nothing less.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
