$195.00

A layered effect that occurs during the glassblowing process, Waterbury’s double-gathered design captures the feeling of movement – not unlike the small, graceful waterfalls on the Waterbury Trail. These optical overlaps play up the untamed beauty of a brilliant bouquet.

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.

    Opening is small

    I wanted to love this vase. I do like the shape but the opening is too small to accommodate an arrangement of flowers suitable for the size of the vase.

    Thank you for your feedback. All of our Seconds has slight variations in shape and size, which is why they are offered at a slight discount. These unique characteristics give our Seconds their charm, though we understand they may not be ideal for every customer.
