SECOND QUALITY
A flared vessel with a heavy foot and scroll handles drawn from neoclassical architecture. Functional enough to pass around, substantial enough to leave 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
The Norwich Ice Bucket’s scroll handles aren’t decorative afterthought, they give the piece and presence, and make passing ice at the table feel natural. The flared form and weighted base keep it stable. The clear glass keeps it from competing with anything around it.
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.
Either way, a beautiful piece— large bucket size is perfect and can be used either way! This gift was also greatly appreciated and looked stunning on bar!
Maybe I would fill it with Hershey’s kisses for a different use😁 that would keep it out on bar to be seen and loved!
The Norwich Ice Bucket is a lovely piece that looks flawless to to the untrained person. It is beautifully designed and glistens. I love this piece and use it often. Whenever I use it, I receive compliments from my guests.
This beauty was sent as a gift to our children for their 20th anniversary. I’m sure they will love it!
Love the clean and classic design. Happy to show it off for entertaining guests.
I purchased the Norwich Ice Bucket-L and am thrilled with my purchase. It is a beautiful piece and adds so much style to my bar decor!
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.
