SECOND QUALITY
White glass applied directly to each branch, delicate and deliberate. The effect is like fresh snow, just settled, caught before it falls.
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
Each Snowy Branches Evergreen is finished by hand, white glass worked onto the individual branches to build up the kind of soft, weighted look that only comes from doing it one branch at a time. The form is clean and the silhouette reads well at any size. On an LED base, the white tips hold and diffuse the light gently.
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.
I have other snowy branches in my collection but none this tall- another perfect addition to the forest
Perfect addition to my forest.
This is my 4th addition to my beautiful trees! I purchased the first visiting the Simon Pierce restaurant in Vermont and I love it so much I am adding to it every year!
Love this snowy branches, I even went back and purchased the 12 inch snowy branches to match. I now have 5 Simon trees illuminated and they are showcased all year. My sweet corner cabinet.
I love all the trees I purchased from Simon Pearce!!! They are works of art!! The seconds are beautiful. The Snowy Branches tree is fabulous
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.
