Featuring an optic layered effect that occurs during the glassblowing process, this double-gathered design gives an artistic overlapped effect with the feeling of movement – not unlike the rushing rivers of Glen Falls in its namesake Waterbury, Vermont.

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?

TOOL MARKS

Lines or impressions left by molds and hand tools—visible traces of the process that shapes each piece.

VARIATIONS IN FORM

Gentle differences in shape or proportion, including uneven rims or dimensions beyond our usual tolerances.

TRAPPED AIR

Occasional larger bubbles or clustered air pockets captured during the molten process.

UNMELTED GLASS

Swirls or fragments of unmelted materials from the furnace environment.

Frequently asked questions

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.

    Love this pattern

    I bought the Waterbury red wine glasses. They’re beautiful but I had an issue with one of the glasses. The customer service was amazing and the issue was resolved completely and quickly. I love all my Simon Pearce pieces, and this is the first time I’ve needed customer service. Another great experience. Thank you!

    Great wine glass

    I have many Simon Pierce seconds, primarily because my husband breaks them frequently. It’s a wonderful product. I own at least 10 wine glasses and two champagne glasses. I love them all.

    Waterbury Red Wine

    Outstanding workmanship. It is a heavy glass and will take a large pour. Not necessarily bad things, but different than your standard wine glass. Not as noticeable on the white wine glass. But style is fantastic and unique.
