Glass tiles were first introduced by artists during the Byzantine times of the 3rd century B.C.
These artists used small colored glass tiles to decorate primarily churches and private residences of the wealthy. The elegance of glass tiles continued into the Art Deco period, with structured glass known as Vitrolite, being used for interior and exterior walls.
