John Jenkins is one of the United Kingdom’s leading designers and suppliers of Crystal and Glass for the high-end Hospitality Industry. Since 1901, our aim has been to design and supply stylish glassware which is practical in service, and which complements both wine and table.

We keep in stock a large range of both handmade and machine-made glassware which is available for immediate delivery. However, our in-house design department also creates exclusive patterns of handmade glassware to the specific requirement of many of our hospitality clients.

The wine glasses that we keep in stock range from machine-made and relatively inexpensive stemware to very fine wine glasses that are fully handmade and intended for the serious wine enthusiast.

Whatever the price point, each pattern aims to provide the best combination of cost and performance that is possible at that price. There are patterns with short stems which are particularly suited to very busy establishments and there are also long-stemmed patterns that are more suited to fine dining restaurants.

Every pattern, whether machine-made or handmade, benefits from the latest advances in glass making technology which have enhanced the clarity, durability and scratch resistance of these wine glasses.

In recent years, the barware has become a much more important feature of the Hospitality business; hence, the large assortment of specialist bar glasses that we now offer. Some of these glasses echo the designs of the 1920’s when cocktails were all the rage, while others are clearly of today. Many of these shapes have been developed in cooperation with eminent bar and mixology professionals who need an exceptional glass in which to serve the latest cocktails.

Some of these glasses are machine made, with the more unusual shapes being handmade; and we are constantly designing new, bespoke cocktail glasses and tumblers for our hospitality clients.

As with our wine glasses, these bar glasses have been carefully designed with style and glamour in mind and they really do enhance the cocktail bar experience.
