We created this mirror for a restaurant in Richmond, Virginia, around 1980.

Art glass goes through phases of popularity. Stained glass, beveled glass, and etched glass rotate when people design their restaurants.

I learned early that many people travel to other restaurants looking for decorating ideas when designing their own. Many go to New York, and some even go to Europe. This idea was seen in New York City.

We achieved this effect by etching away the back of the mirror, allowing the light from the pink neon to filter through.
