"Window caulking", maybe? To make a water-tight seal.

Or maybe you didn't want the glass to rattle.

Hi Mac,

Probably silicone. I just made a pair of oak doors
with glass "panels" for a kitchen cabinet. I hate
it when glass rattles in the door, so I ran a
thin bead of silicone around the edge of the glass.
Then I covered that with some stained oak strips
so that it looks nicely finished when the door
is open.

Clear silicone caulk works well IF it will not be used on a mirror.
