SECOND QUALITY
The Vermont Evergreen’s three-sided form, given a single decisive twist by the glassblower while the glass is still hot on the floor. The motion captures an evergreen bending in the wind and can’t be replicated twice.
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 Vermont Twist Evergreen starts where the original leaves off. While the glass is still molten, the glassblower gives the form one turn: a gesture that takes a moment and can’t be undone or exactly repeated. The result has a windswept, organic quality that reads differently from every angle. Grouped among other evergreens in a forest, it’s the one that catches the eye and keeps the whole arrangement from feeling too still.
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.
This really added some movement to my forest collection. I couldn’t love it more!
I absolutely love my new Simon Pearce Vermont Twist Glass Tree! I have it placed in my bedroom alcove along with other Simon Pearce trees and fairy lights. It’s stunning! My guests comment on the beauty and even knew the artist! The details are amazing and it reflects light beautifully. I highly recommend this piece or the other gorgeous trees!
This is a beautiful piece. I have the 26” and the 22”. They are beautiful together.
My wife loves her trees and has several of them. She leaves them out all year long.
I love the tree and will be a beautiful addition to the Christmas forest. The tree arrived damaged and the replacement came quickly and customer service was very nice and helpful.
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.
