GLASS ON PERSONALIZED GIFTS & UNIQUE HOME DÉCOR By Brianne Hogan Photos Ashley Travis
Juan Chan was originally a Sake Sommelier who arrived on PEI from Hong Kong in the summer of 2023, bringing with him a deep appreciation for the artistry of glassware. “One of the key responsibilities as a Sake Sommelier is pairing sake with the right food and vessel, with glass being one of the most suitable materials for enhancing the drinking experience,” he shares. “This appreciation for glass eventually inspired the opening of my shop, Glass On, where beauty and functionality converge.” Once you step into the Charlottetown shop, you’ll be met with a variety of delicate glass items, from elegant wine glasses to intricate glass pendants, that will surely elevate your home and leave a lasting impression on any occasion. According to Chan, one of the standout products is the glass globe, crafted with 3D laser technology to engrave intricate patterns inside the glass. Customers can choose from a variety of designs, including horoscopes and different animals, making the globes perfect for personalized gifts or unique home décor. Additionally, says Chan, the boutique’s stained glass pieces, designed locally, are another popular item of choice, that adds vibrant artistry to any space. To ensure the best value for customers, many of the products are imported from Asia, which Chan says offers high-quality craftsmanship at competitive prices. However, local artists are encouraged to take part in Glass On’s consignment program which allows them to showcase their unique pieces, creating a dynamic fusion of creativity and collaboration with Islanders. For those who are seeking special gifts for the upcoming holiday season, Chan says his shop is one of the best choices on the Island for both value and quality, noting that “each purchase is a reflection of your unique style and taste.”
