What makes an item a Second?

Seconds are imperfect. They haven’t passed our quality assurance for a number of reasons ranging from imperfections on the glaze surfaces, unexpected color results, cracks, fractures, warping, odd shapes, or missing/incorrectly placed stamps or makers marks. 

In ceramics, “seconds” are celebrated and lovingly integrated into our homes and hearts. Some of our most cherished pieces and glazes have come from a “firing gone wrong”. One example is our Frost glaze, which was inspired by a misfiring of our seasonal Winterberry glaze.

Here are some examples of what you can expect from a second. Please note that these depicted flaws and items do not represent the items available this year. Your seconds will be selected at random, are non-refundable, and cannot be exchanged. Our team is hard at work narrowing down this year's selection so there are minimal imperfections that do not hinder the functionality of the piece. 

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE SALE
