The use of small glass pieces in mosaics dates back to the New Kingdom in Egypt (CA. 1550 to 1069 BC). Stones were placed on the wall along with pieces of rock and inlays, often used in funerary art. Mosaics were created in stages in ancient Rome and Greece. The ground had been levelled and compacted. Then, up to a 25 cm thickness, it spread out dry pebbles, stone and lime. Then, a further layer up to 15 cm thick was spread out. Lime and broken bricks made up this stratum. The Florentine mosaics are the most complex of all mosaics. The masters of Florence were the first to use natural stone drawing to get ready-made paintings, thus the name. A unique mosaic method was created at the end of the 16th century and hasn’t experienced many changes.
There are several urban tales about the mosaic’s emergence. One of them from China is seen here. It is said that ceramic mosaics date back to when pottery first appeared. Even mythology regarding the appearance of mosaics existed in ancient China. It claims that as a beginner, Potter worked in a local workshop. The artist took a stunningly beautiful glazed bowl from the oven and was astonished by its unparalleled beauty. He then glanced at it and let it alone. Thousands of pieces of the bowl’s broken pieces flew everywhere. Ancient Chinese law mandated that the student be severely punished for the work destroyed. So, he decided to gather all the parts and enter the woods.
