mirrored, yes, I think so.

Was it my kitchen?

cat_mom-Yes it is your beautiful backsplash that I had seen before and love! What color is yours?

i think it's possible for glass backsplash tiles to work in a non-contemporary/modern kitchen, but they're few and far between.

I've seen glass subway tiles look classic. There's a small bath with ocean-colored tiles shown in Jan-Feb. kitchen and bath ideas magazine; I tried finding it on the current website for you but couldn't. This one had a crisp white vanity with well defined Shaker type styling, and the overall style was what I would call modern cottage, so the glass subway tiles fit right in. HTH.

My feeling is that it's often but not always contemporary. Lunada Bay Tile has some good examples, particularly at the bottom of the "Renga Concept Boards" link (right side of page) and if you click on "Concepts" (top of main page), then "Stone, Pewter, and Glass Concepts."

Unfortunately, I can only directly link in their homepage.

This is an interesting question. I debated for weeks about putting glass tiles on my backsplash. My GC and designer thought they'd look great, my dh and trusted friends thought it would look too contemporary. In the end we went with plain subway tiles.
But I do kind of wish I'd chosen the glass tiles instead. I like the idea of mixing some contemporary elements with some more traditional ones.
I've been watching a lot of Divine Design and Candice uses glass tiles a lot on backsplashes, fireplaces, etc. It doesn't always scream "contemporary" to me.
If you like the look- go for it!

I went on the Twin Cities Bungalow Club house tour last weekend and one of the homes, built around 1920, had a glass tile backsplash. To keep it more subdued, through, they only ran it up a few courses on the wall. They had a busier countertop, too. It looked great!

I was going with honed crema marfil subway tiles until the last minute when, with the urging of an interior designer, we switched to mosaic glass tiles. I too thought they might be too contemporary but it turned out to be one of my favorite features:
