A Rather Splendid Vase That Actually Gets Better With Age
Right, so here's the thing about the Robert vase. It's one of those pieces that manages to look both utterly modern and rather timeless all at once, which frankly is a bit of a trick. We've paired it with a gorgeous smoke finish that sits somewhere between moody and marvellous. Perfect for long-stemmed flowers, from sunflowers to roses, or if you're anything like us, rather fabulous faux blooms that never wilt.
Why Choose Our Smoke Vase
Mouth Blown Craftsmanship: Each vase is handcrafted by master glassblowers using techniques that haven't changed much since, well, forever really. No two are quite alike, which means yours is genuinely one of a kind.
Beautifully Made Glass: This isn't your typical thin vase. We're talking proper, weighty glass that feels as luxurious as it looks. The colour is mixed into the glass itself, not painted on, which gives it that gorgeous depth.
Natural Variations Add Character: Those tiny air bubbles and subtle colour shifts you'll notice aren't defects. They're proof of the authentic hand-crafted process and make each piece delightfully unique. We rather like that about them.
Works Anywhere: Whether you're using it as a floor statement piece or as a table centrepiece, this vase manages to be both understated and quite the showstopper.
Product Details
Height: Tall and tapered for maximum visual impact
Glass Thickness: Approximately 3mm of proper, heavy-duty glass
Finish: Smoke, hand-finished by traditional methods
Care: Hand wash recommended to preserve the craftsmanship
This is the sort of piece that collectors and design-savvy folk tend to seek out. Each one arrives as a little work of art, and honestly, they're rather difficult to part with once you've got one.
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!
PAYMENT

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay

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.

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.
