SECOND QUALITY
The classic Simon Pearce evergreen, made extraordinary by what lives inside it. Hundreds of tiny bubbles worked in by hand catch light in a way that’s impossible to look away from.
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.

The bubbles aren’t a surface treatment, they’re built into the glass itself during the glassblowing process, one by one. That’s a level of skill and patience that shows the moment light hits it. Inspired by the Vermont forest in winter, with branches catching ice, every surface transformed, the Bubble Evergreen captures that particular kind of magic in clear glass. No two are alike, and for many, it’s the piece that starts a collection. A genuine keepsake.
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.
I purchased the above tree for my daughter's birthday. She has seen the trees that I have collected and thought they were just beautiful!
They are gorgeous! They are expensive but they are worth the splurge! The detail and the way they make a room special are beyond words.
I just wish that ordering them online (which I did not ) was not so expensive. But maybe that's a good thing because it limits the number of trees that I can buy!
So beautiful and added them to my other two I bought.
Gorgeous evergreen for the mantle.
My daughter loved her Christmas Tree very beautiful
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.
