Special window glass
Monument protection

Crown Bullions, also known as Crown Glass or Bullseye Glass, is perfect for detailing doors, sidelites, transoms, windows, and cabinetry. It can also be used to glaze entire openings and partitions to bring a period-sensitive elegance and daylight while obscuring views and offering privacy.

The unmistakable handmade quality of Lamberts® Crown Bullion Glass, its original production methods, consistency, and delicate beauty make it a refined choice for historic restoration and detailing of traditional buildings and furniture.

Production

The Crown Bullion Glass production process begins with a gather (a ball) of semi-molten glass on the end of a blowpipe, which is gradually blown and opened outwards like a “crown.” It is then transferred from the blowpipe to a pontil, or “punty” iron rod, opened and flattened through reheating and spinning it rapidly.

 

The outer parts of the disc are trimmed, and the remaining ornamental bullseye center becomes a decorative element for windows, doors, sidelites, and transoms.

Technique and colours

Moon discs / Crown Bullions are mainly made of clear glass. However, custom-made products in other colors are possible by arrangement.

Fields of application

Moon discs / Crown Bullions are mainly found in western Europe. Many of these glasses can be found in historic buildings in France and especially in Great Britain.
