Custom Glass Globe - Information
-
John Moncrieff Ltd designs and manufactures high-quality custom glass globes for applications where visual impact, dimensional accuracy, and technical performance are non-negotiable.
We specialise in bespoke glass forming, producing globes to exact requirements—whether driven by architectural intent, functional constraints, or legacy replacement needs. From one-off prototypes through to repeat production runs, we deliver consistent, controlled, and commercially viable results.
If it can be drawn, specified, or sampled, we can make it.
Core Capabilities
- Advanced glass forming expertise with tight dimensional control
- Bespoke production to customer drawings, CAD data, or physical samples
- Scalable manufacturing—from prototype to repeat batch production
- Technical support across specification, prototyping, and production planning
- Reliable UK manufacturing with controlled quality standards
This is not catalogue glass. Every globe is made with intent, accuracy, and repeatability.

Design & Specification Support
We don’t just manufacture—we collaborate.
We work directly with:
- Lighting designers
- Architects
- Engineers
- Procurement teams
This ensures the final product is fit for purpose, production-ready, and commercially sensible. Early engagement reduces risk, cost, and rework later in the project lifecycle.
