A Rather Splendid Second Life for Something Gloriously Old
Picture this: a vintage Georgian silver-plated rose bowl, originally minding its own business displaying fresh flowers, has been given a rather fabulous new purpose. We've hand-poured a candle into it, and now you have something that is part olfactory luxury, part conversation starter, and entirely one-of-a-kind. The tarnished patina and ornate openwork design mean no two versions exist quite like yours. Rather marvellous, really.
Why Choose Our Vintage Silver Rose Bowl Candle
The Scent is Utterly Fetching: Velvet Tonka wraps you in warmth with tonka bean, creamy almond, and soft vanilla, gently whispered with lavender, tobacco leaf, and rose petals. It is plush without being shouty, sweet without being cloying, and quietly luxurious in the way only slow evenings truly appreciate.
Sustainability with Actual Soul: Once the candle has melted away, the vessel remains as a beautifully crafted keepsake. No plastic waste, no hollow promises. Plant-based wax, natural cotton wick, hand-poured in England. Because second lives deserve to be done properly.
Genuinely Vintage Character: This is not new made to look old. The tarnish, the imperfections, the worn patina, the slight dents that come with age and honest living. That is the sort of thing that makes something rather good.

Care Instructions
Trim the wick between burns to keep things tidy. Once finished, wipe clean with a soft cloth. Do not scrub the silver plate, as it rather prefers gentleness. Not food-safe, obviously.
This is a one-off piece. Once it is yours, it is the only one quite like it in existence. Rather good odds for something special.
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.
