Thanks, that looks very neat.
Presumably we could make the edge of the wood flush with the edge of the glass for a more 'modernist' bathroom? Is the glass attached to the wood and / or sealed around the edges? Would it be suitable to do this in an area around a bathroom sink (to match the cistern cover) or would water get between the glass and wood?

Where there's a lot of water around you should seal it around the edges as you would normally with a mould resistant sealant of some kind. The wood can be flush with the edge, in this case it's a hardwood edge moulding on a plywood top under the glass. The glass is not fixed to the wood as it needs to be removed to gain access to the screws, the screws are kind of unnecessary in this case. The glass slides out from under the mirror though, so the mirror template was made after the glass was installed, the gap is tiny.
You can think of it as one big custom size glass tile so it can be lots of different thicknesses, colours, etched. I do fit quite a bit of stone in bathrooms too, but you could just replace the wood and glass with a piece of quartz/granite/marble. In this case there's a tiny basin in a green resin in the corner of the room, you can see the edge in the reflection. That was a pain to source and took 3 months to come from France. Which is why glass tiles and a glass top were chosen over stone.

I do have a picture. In this case the mirror above is mounted on a 2x2 frame as there are some pipes in the corner of the room and the toilet is under a pavement so it's very difficult to chisel into the walls to hide pipes. I like the effect it has of reducing the depth of the shelf above the cistern. The metal flush button is a hans grohe item which is expensive but it helps to set a quality tone. I was asked to leave the toilet unsealed which is why there's a shadow gap.
It's a tiny room so I couldn't get a better angle. Actually the glass looks a bit green here but I have sourced white glass for other places.
Tip for making them is to cut a piece of hardboard to fit the space, check it fits and then take it to the glass supplier. So many mistakes get made by measuring for glass.
