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.
Gorgeous heirloom glassware made by hand. Perfect size and weight.
The Walden glass is my go to everyday glass! From iced coffee to an evening cocktail and every thing in between. There’s plenty of room for ice, a slice or two of citrus and more! It’s a first in my book.
Thank you for making this glass.

The small Walden Glass is perfectly simple in shape, and its small size makes it even more special.
Great product. Simple and elegant. Service is great, shipping is great. And I love sup[porting products from my favorite state.
These glasses are beautiful! Just the right size! Great for everyday use!
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.
