A Rather Splendid Vase That Looks Rather Better Than It Has Any Right To
Look, we'll level with you straight away. This is a hand blown glass vase, and that means it's been crafted by actual humans in European glass studios who know what they're doing. The Modest design is one of those things that somehow manages to look modern without trying too hard, which is rather marvellous when you think about it. It's the sort of vase that works brilliantly with pampas grasses, a vibrant field bouquet, or honestly just a loose arrangement of whatever flowers you've picked up on a whim.
Why Choose Our Modest Vase
Utterly Handmade Mouth Blown Glass: Each vase is created using traditional glass blowing techniques that haven't really changed much since, well, forever. Our master glassblowers treat each piece with genuine artisan dedication, which means you're getting something properly crafted rather than mass produced.
Gloriously Unique Every Single Time: Here's the rather lovely bit. Because these are hand blown, no two vases are exactly alike. Those little air bubbles and colour variations you might spot aren't mistakes, they're proof that a real human made this. The colour is mixed into the glass itself, not painted on, and the whole thing is beautifully substantial and thick.
Delightfully Stylish and Distinctive: This raspberry shade is gorgeous, and the bubble design catches light in ways that make the whole thing feel rather showstopping on a shelf or table. It's the sort of piece people actually notice.
Product Details
Material: Hand blown glass, approximately 3mm thick throughout
Colouring Method: Colour mixed into the glass during the blowing process, not painted or applied
Craftsmanship: Traditional European glass blowing techniques using time honoured methods
What to Expect: Each vase will have its own character. Small variations in shade, minor air bubbles, and subtle differences in dimension are entirely normal and rather add to the charm
Because each one is made individually, once this particular shade sells through, we simply can't promise another batch will arrive looking quite the same. Rather good reason to not overthink it, honestly.
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. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
