An article includes a substrate, e.g. a glass sheet having a first major
surface and an opposite second major surface having a textured surface to
provide a predetermined pattern on the second surface of the substrate,
and an overlay, e.g. a coating over the pattern. The percent of visible
light transmittance, and percent visible light reflectance, of the
substrate and the overlay is selected such that the pattern is visible
when the article is viewed through one of the surfaces of the substrate
or overlay. In one non-limiting embodiment, the substrate is glass and
the article has a metallic appearance. In another non-limiting
embodiment, the overlay is a transparent coating deposited on the second
surface of the glass sheet into grooves of the pattern. Other
non-limiting embodiments include the substrate having a Delta % haze of
greater than 15%, and a protective overcoat over the coating.
