Is bronze more expensive nowadays? cause that's actually so smart, the only downside I could think of is constantly polishing. Yk unless polishing tools are more expensive than just replacing mirrors today

This is an AI narration and not real history. The concept of the glass mirror, glass with a reflective backing, has been known since ancient times. But it took until the 16th century in the West for flat glass mirrors to be practical. Even so, mirrors from the 1500s to 1800s were still very expensive. So polished metal was used. Gutenberg, the developer movable type printing in the West, made polished metal mirrors before he shifted on printing. In the 1800s, cheaper ways to deposit metal on glass were discovered.

also glas by itself is not reflective its transparent or translucent. to make glass mirrors special chemicals have to be put on the glass that make thr mirror surface. which is why bronze was used for a long time and even silver was used later on and when glass mirrors finally took off silver was still used in the chemical compound if i remember correctly (could be wrong) which is why the superstition of vampires having no reflection comes from because silver was seen as a purifying metal and so worked as a way to ward off evil beings. nowadays however silver is not used in mirrors and so vampires would have a reflection just keep that in mind lol
