The ancient Greeks made mirrors primarily from polished metal, such as bronze or silver, which they shaped into reflective surfaces. They would create a flat surface by carefully polishing the metal to enhance its reflectivity. In some cases, they also used glass, which was coated with a reflective substance like lead or tin to improve its quality. These mirrors were often small and handheld, used for personal grooming and decoration.
