Dynasty Smalti mosaic glass is a high-quality, hand-cut tesserae that adds beauty to both modern and traditional mosaic art.
Dynasty Smalti offers a wide range of colors at affordable prices. The smalti comes in various sizes and is available in both modern and antique shades.
Note the colors within the Modern Range are compatible with each other, as are the colors within the Antique Range. However, do not mix antique and modern smalti in kiln artworks. Due to its handmade nature, expect to find both straight and irregular pieces, which contribute to the charm of smalti. Reshape the smalti using mosaic tools to suit your mosaic style.
