SECOND QUALITY
Named for a Vermont city built on granite and backbone. Straight-sided, minimal, and quietly confident, it’s carafe for people who know that sometimes, less is exactly enough.
Seconds are structurally sound and functional, but may include bubbles, surface marks, or a slight wobble from the handmade process. Appearance may vary from the image shown.
Handmade in the USA
Guaranteed to arrive safely
Made of natural materials
Durable enough for daily use
Where most carafes lean into curve and flourish, Barre holds its simple line. Clean, smooth, and genuinely contemporary, it’s at home on a sleek kitchen counter or a well-dressed dinner table. Use it for water, wine, or a chilled cocktail. Layers beautifully alongside other Simon Pearce pieces, and holds its own alongside anything more minimal on a modern table.
Please note: Seconds are structurally sound and functional, but may include bubbles, surface marks, or a slight wobble from the handmade process. Appearance may vary from the image shown.
Seconds are final sale and excluded from gift wrapping.
What Makes a Second?
Lines or impressions left by molds and hand tools—visible traces of the process that shapes each piece.
Gentle differences in shape or proportion, including uneven rims or dimensions beyond our usual tolerances.
Occasional larger bubbles or clustered air pockets captured during the molten process.
Swirls or fragments of unmelted materials from the furnace environment.
Beautiful carafes
The carafe is beautifully elegant. It can be used for juice or sangria. The presentation on a table or bar is quite impressive.
Planning on purchasing the medium size for smaller occasions. I think this carafe would make a very thoughtful gift as well.
Wonderful
Very functional from wine to juice
The shape, the design, the craftsmanship, the feel of the carafe in one’s hand, and the functionality. It is perfect.
Seconds are fully functional pieces that don’t meet our strict visual standards. Because every item is made by hand, small variations naturally occur throughout the making process. Some seconds reflect the learning curve of new artisans or the refinement of a new design, while others simply fall outside our tolerance guidelines. When this happens, the piece is designated as a second and offered at a reduced price.
Seconds are typically offered at 10%–30% off the original price, depending on the piece.
Seconds may include subtle differences in shape, size, or finish. Common variations can include:
1. Slight dimensional differences beyond our tolerance range, typically ⅛"– ½".
2. Small bubbles within the glass.
3. A gentle wobble that does not affect stability.
4. Occasional stones or cords in the glass, which reflect the molten material and furnace environment.
These variations are visual in nature and part of the handmade process. Pieces that are unsafe, sharp, or unstable are never offered as seconds.
No. Because seconds celebrate variation, each piece is unique and may differ from the product photography shown. That individuality is part of what makes seconds special.
No. All seconds are final sale.
Seconds are not eligible for gift boxing or wrapping. However, you may contact our Customer Care team to purchase a gift box separately if available. Gift messages may still be added at checkout.
