A Rather Splendid Piece of Chinese History, Now Yours
Rather wonderfully, this genuine antique Chinese pot has journeyed from the late 19th to early 20th century straight into your home. Originally crafted in the distinguished Yunnan style, it once held water or vinegar with considerable purpose and dignity. We like to think it's rather pleased about its new role as a conversation starter.
Why Choose Our Vintage Glazed Yunnan Pot
Beautifully Handcrafted Details: Each recurring floral and circular motif was painstakingly applied by hand, showcasing the artistic prowess of its era. The craftsmanship is rather marvellous, if we do say so.
Authentically Imperfect: This isn't one of those sterile museum pieces. It bears the most glorious signs of a life well-lived, with patina and gentle wear that only genuine age can provide. Utterly fetching, really.
A Conversation Piece That Actually Has Stories: Unlike mass-produced decorative objects, this pot has witnessed over a century of history. Quite the showstopper for anyone who appreciates proper craftsmanship.
Versatile Display Potential: Whether housing fresh blooms with a vase liner, displayed as sculptural art, or simply admired as a window into another era, this pot adapts to your space beautifully.
Product Details
Dimensions: 18 centimetres diameter, 24 centimetres height, with a 10 centimetre opening diameter
Material and Care: Due to its material composition, direct contact with water is not advisable. For fresh flowers, we recommend using a vase liner to prevent seepage. A little precaution ensures this fabulous piece endures.
Authenticity: Genuine late 19th to early 20th century Yunnan-style preservation vessel, complete with appropriate signs of age and use
These pieces rarely become available. If you've been searching for something genuinely marvellous and properly handsome to complete your collection, this is rather the moment.
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.

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.

From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space.
