glasslike
Smooth and clear
Glasslike describes something resembling glass in appearance or quality—smooth, transparent, or reflective.
A glasslike surface might be highly polished; glasslike eyes suggest a vacant or fixed stare.
The word often emphasizes an unnaturally smooth or brittle quality: The lake was glasslike in the still morning air.
