Glass Mosaic

As soon as man began to erect buildings made to withstand the action of time, he sought to discover, for purposes of embellishment, materials of a permanent character, more especially when desiring to produce chromatic and polychromatic effects. From this quest was born the art of the mosaicists, the art of placing colored tesserze in juxtaposition, one to another, and each to all, so as to form ornaments or pictures.
