SECOND QUALITY
Straight-sided, open, and scaled to hold a candle or an engraving equally well. The cylindrical form and modern foot give it a clean architectural presence that works indoors or out.
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
Inspired by the coastal geometry of New England, the Nantucket Hurricane keeps nothing from view. Its straight sides and unadorned clarity make it one of the more versatile pieces in the collection. Candlelight moves through it cleanly, and its expansive walls make it one of the better canvases for engraving.
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.
Very pleased
I bought this as a gift for husband for Christmas - he was surprised and delighted! So beautiful and perfect on our mantle.
I had wanted these for so long and was excited to receive them. When they arrived one was fine and the other smashed in a million pieces. I emailed customer service at 4:58 pm and by 5:02 pm i had a new order and never had to lift a finger. In this day and age i was so pleasantly surprised. The hurricanes are beautiful. I enclosed a picture and that will not be there permanent home but i live the way they sparkle.
These are so beautiful the way the light reflects off of them. I have wanted for so long and am really excited.
I bought a pair of Nantucket Hurricanes, and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. They look stunning on my mantle and they are exactly what I wanted. They might be labeled as seconds, but they are perfect and definitely made with love by a Simon Pearce craftsperson.
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.
