mosaic tile/s glass Explanation: Another idea. BTW , if you go with your idea, I think that the plural of tessera is tesserae. |

woven glass Explanation: This is just pure speculation. As tessere is to weave. Need more information really! |

fused mosaic glass Explanation: I think the technique here involves arranging the glass chips/tesserae and then heating them in a kiln until they stick together (fusing). There is no mortar, cement, or glue holding them together the way a glass mosaic made on a wall would have, but rather the glass melts enough to bond to itself and can also be slumped in/over a mold in a second firing. This is a good technique for making a bowl in combination with murrine, for example: http://mayneislandglass.com/milli.html Also try a google image search for fused mosaic glass to see if the examples match your text. |
