Glass Mosaic

an imitation of antique mosaic work, formed of small cubes of glass mixed with various coloring for matters, chiefly metallic oxides, so as to form opaque colored enamels, which are cast into slabs or flat cakes, the slab being afterward cut into very small cubes or rectangular pieces. With these little colored cubes a picture is built up by inserting each one separately in a bed of cement.
