2. Beveled glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beveled_glass

   A beveled glass mirror, ca. 1910. Beveled glass is usually made by taking thick glass and creating an angled surface cut around the entire periphery. Bevels act as prisms in sunlight creating an interesting color refraction which both highlights the glass work and provides a spectrum of colors which would ordinarily be absent in clear float glass.

7. Mirror image - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

   A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect, it results from specular reflection off from surfaces of lustrous materials, especially a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can ...
