SECOND QUALITY
Vermont’s waterways appear most literally here: fine strands of hand-wrapped glass encircling a cylindrical body, frozen in form but alive with movement when candlelight passes through.
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 Echo Lake Collection was born from Vermont’s rivers: constantly shifting between frozen and flowing with the seasons. The hurricane is where that becomes most literal, with strands of glass wrapped around a cylindrical form, capturing the way water moves in something that holds still. Most hurricanes invite light in through smooth glass. The Echo Lake filters it, scattering and diffusing the flame in a way that clear glass alone can’t manage. The piece that often begins a collection, and rarely ends one.
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.
The Echo Lake Hurricane is absolutely beautiful and we have already used it both with a candle as a hurricane light and with flowers as a vase. In both cases it looked stunning! The medium hurricane is perfect- whether on my dining table or on a console table, it's fabulous- just the right size! In fact, I love it so much, I am planning to order another!
I love Simon Pearce pieces. I own quite a few. But these Echo Lake Hurricanes are beyond special. I have them on my coffee table with candles and the glow is heavenly. I plan to order more. So grateful.
Thank you for creating all these beautiful works of art.
I ordered the Echo Lake Hurricane-L. It's absolutely beautiful, as would be expected from Simon Pierce. I'm writing to praise their customer service. My mistake in ordering the wrong item was resolved quickly ( the turn around was amazing) and so efficiently I was truly impressed. Thank you Simon Pierce for a great purchasing experience.
Beautiful and quite substantial! I already had the large and medium, and thought the small would complete the look, as it did. As others have said, you can't tell it's a 2nd. They are truly lovely grouped together - thanks!
This was the first of two purchases - small and medium so I'll review both. They are gorgeous and to say they are 2nd's.... Simon Pearce has high standards because these are perfect in every way to my untrained eye and I will continue to purchase from them.
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.
