Okay I'm only in 3rd grade but we studied this question.the glass mosaics came from ancient Rome.
Mosaic
The word 'Tessera' is often used to describe one of the small shapes used to make a mosaic picture or pattern. Tessarae (the word for more than one tessera) used in ancient mosaics can be of stones of different colours, or cubes of fired clay or glass. Modern mosaics also make use of modern materials such as plastics or steel, etc.. The modern cathedral in Barcelona, Spain, is covered in a mosaic made of broken pottery and china.
You need a diamond tipped drill bit to drill glass or tile.
Mosaics Were mainly Used For Decoration. They Originated In Rome Where People Would use Pieces Of Broken Tile Or Glass Too Make A Picture.Mosaics are pictures or patterns produced by arranging together small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, or glass.
Romans made mosaics out of terracotta(clay). Which was first used in the eighteenth century BC.The mosaic pieces were originally pebbles,but then changed to tile and cube stone rods through the 400BC.Nowadays we use ceramic tile and glass.
In Roman times "tile" meant the same as it does today. It was either a piece of a roof or a small piece of either stone or glass used in mosaics.

Somebody before me said mosaics were made of wood, but they were actually made of coloured bits of broken glass and tile Roman mosaic art that is still available for historians to research were typically made of local stone and pebbles. They included glass to a small degree to give color and the glass was mixed with the natural stone and rock of the area.
