These reproduction antiqued mirrors are works of art and can bring color and texture to an otherwise hard, cold reflective surface. * A decorative reflecting [[sphere]] of thin metal-coated glass, working as a reducing wide-angle mirror, is sold as a [[Christmas ornament]] called a ''bauble''. * Some pubs and bars hang mirrors depicting the logo of a brand of liquor, beer or drinking establishment.
