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.
Few years ago, we celebrated our son’s 12 birthday. We were at the top floor of the Chicago Public Library. My son understood me, that I had a desire to see more. He was kind to me. He shot out” who ever makes first at the he bottom staircase will pick activity for entire family!!! Set GO!”I took my heels off and flew of the staircase. It was one of my biggest win. And that is how I met Ceres, the Roman goddess of harvest and motherly relationships…A postmodernism sculpture atop of Chicago Board Trade Building. Every time I look on this vase I think of columnar, stoic, magnificent beauty and the moment of my win.
One time, I put on wedding ceremony 36”long stem Calla Lilies, reflecting in swimming pool in this vase, striking and indescribably SERENE.
This is my engagement gift to my grandchildren gorgeous and the right size to be used frequently

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.
