Wabi Sabi Antique Matt Grey Terracotta Bowl
Pickup currently not available
A Rather Splendid Vessel with Proper History
Here's the thing about this bowl: it's handcrafted from natural terracotta and aged with the sort of weathered grace that only time can manage. Unearthed in rural China, each piece bears the lovely marks of its own story—subtle imperfections, textured surfaces, and earthy tones that celebrate the Wabi Sabi philosophy of finding beauty in impermanence. Utterly fetching, really.
Why Choose Our Antique Terracotta Bowl
Genuinely One of a Kind: No two pieces are identical. Your bowl arrives with its own character, making it rather more interesting than mass-produced alternatives.
Beautifully Crafted: These bowls aren't trying too hard. They're simply well-made vessels that happen to look rather good everywhere they land.
Endlessly Versatile: Display it on open shelving as a standalone sculpture, tuck it into a curated corner with dried botanicals, use it as a low planter or moss bowl, or simply let it sit on a console table looking marvellously lived-in.
Natural Materials: Genuine terracotta that ages gracefully and feels substantial in hand.

SHIPPING + RETURNS
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.
