SECOND QUALITY
The familiar Simon Pearce evergreen silhouette, shaped with five sides instead of three. The additional planes catch light from new angles, making the tree read differently at every hour of the day.
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 form looks immediately familiar and subtly different, which is the point. Placed next to a classic three-sided tree, the five-sided reads as a natural evolution. In a group of five-sided trees alone, it creates a forest with real depth and texture. Long-time collectors reach for it to add dimension to a forest they’ve built over years. New collectors find it a distinctive starting point. Either way, it tends to multiply.
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 love the Simon Pearce Trees. I particularly like the seconds. I feel they are even more beautiful because of their imperfections. More like a real tree. I love watching the video of how the artisan cuts the branches and elongates the form. Truly each tree is a work of art.
Beautiful seconds with nuanced imperfections
Trees had slight imperfections as to be expected but I actually prefer the trees being like snowflakes
Added this stunning 5 sided tree to my beautiful collection…can never have too many trees!
Adding the 10” evergreen to my collection was a big hit! I’m hooked and would love more trees🥰
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.
