Inspired by the earthy spirit of Burlington, this perfectly imperfect glass bowl has a freehand feel that’s alive with the nuance of handmade design. Its free-flowing lines and organic fluidity make it ideal as a base for simple centerpieces or as a functional, beautiful salad bowl that’s a joy to pass around.

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?

TOOL MARKS

Lines or impressions left by molds and hand tools—visible traces of the process that shapes each piece.

VARIATIONS IN FORM

Gentle differences in shape or proportion, including uneven rims or dimensions beyond our usual tolerances.

TRAPPED AIR

Occasional larger bubbles or clustered air pockets captured during the molten process.

UNMELTED GLASS

Swirls or fragments of unmelted materials from the furnace environment.

Frequently asked questions

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.

    Simon Pearce glass is beautiful art whether firsts or seconds!

    Came upon Simon Pearce when my daughter first arrived at UVM, Burlington. We live in Iowa but stop whenever in Burly and also made the trip to Quechee and factory tour. All gorgeous! I love receiving the notices for seconds sales because they are just as beautiful to me at a fraction of the cost. The Burlington Bowl L is much bigger than I anticipated and I love it! Love the organic edges. This was a gift to myself and I'm just getting started! (Just saw your Gift for me! option below - perfect.)
