A Rather Splendid Vase That Actually Earns Its Place on Your Shelf
Look, we're not ones to boast, but the Modest vase is rather good. It's the sort of thing that makes people pause mid-conversation and ask where on earth you found it. Whether you're arranging a vibrant field bouquet, displaying pampas grasses, or simply gathering an armful of loose flowers, this glorious taupe vessel sits there looking utterly fetching and properly handsome. The delicate bubble design catches the light in a way that feels both creative and deliberately understated, which is precisely the point.
Why Choose Our Modest Vase
Mouth Blown by Real Human Hands: Each vase is crafted by master glassblowers using traditional techniques that haven't fundamentally changed in centuries. No factories, no shortcuts, just artisan dedication and the sort of skill that takes years to master.
Genuinely Unique: Here's the rather marvellous bit: because these are hand-blown, no two vases are exactly alike. Those tiny air bubbles, subtle colour variations, and minor imperfections aren't flaws. They're evidence of authenticity. They're what make your vase yours and yours alone.
Built to Last: We're talking luxuriously heavy glass, typically 3mm thick, with colour mixed deep within rather than painted on. This is the sort of piece that gets better with age and actually means something when you pass it on.
Delightfully Stylish: The taupe finish is fabulously made to complement everything from Scandinavian minimalism to maximalist eclectic interiors. It's distinctive without shouting about it.

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

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!

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.
