A Rather Marvellous Bit of Galactic Magic for Your Mantelpiece
Right then, picture this: hand-blown glass that sparkles like you've captured actual stardust and trapped it indoors. The Galaxy Cylinder is precisely that sort of splendid object. Metal chips and tiny bubbles dance through the glass, creating this utterly fetching outer-worldly shimmer that honestly makes one feel rather clever for owning it. Pop a tealight inside and watch the whole thing glitter like a miniature cosmos. Perfectly ridiculous in the best way.
Why Choose Our Galaxy Cylinder
Mouth Blown by Proper Craftspeople: Each piece is handcrafted using ancient glassblowing techniques that haven't changed much in centuries. We're talking master artisans here, not machines. Your candleholder is beautifully made the old fashioned way, which means it actually has character rather than looking mass produced.
Gorgeously Unique Every Single Time: No two are identical. Air bubbles, slight colour variations, the odd rough patch where metal chips catch the light—these aren't defects, they're proof of authenticity. Each one is rather gloriously distinct, and honestly that's rather the point.
Fabulously Made Glass: Heavy, luxurious stuff at roughly 3 mm thick. The colour runs throughout the glass itself, not painted on top like some budget effort. You're holding proper quality here.
Rather Good Looking Too: It's the sort of design that somehow works with both Scandinavian minimalism and maximalist eccentricity. Trendsetting without trying too hard. A proper showstopper.
Product Details
Craftsmanship: Hand blown glass using traditional European techniques.
Material: Rich, heavy glass approximately 3 mm thick with integrated metal chips and air bubbles.
Character: Each piece varies slightly in colour, shape and dimension due to handcrafted production. This is entirely intentional and adds to its charm.
Best Use: Tealight candleholder that creates glorious ambient lighting.
A Word of Warning: Because these are genuinely handmade, each one is delightfully different. If you're the sort of person who finds that rather fabulous, you've come to exactly the right place. If you were hoping for factory consistency, well, that's rather the opposite of what we do here.
Dare to be distinct. Each Galaxy Cylinder invites you to celebrate the marvellous imperfections of things made by actual human hands.

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.

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.
