“Tiffany adapted his colored-glass innovations to the medium of mosaics. He once attributed his inspiration for mosaics to the dazzling interiors of the Byzantine churches he had visited as a young man. Tiffany’s magnificent glass mosaics were placed in a variety of architectural interiors from churches to libraries, department stores, and museums, on walls, ceilings, columns, and other decorative surfaces. Mosaics also appeared on novel settings, such as this stamp box.” From the [San Francisco Museum](https://www.sfomuseum.org/exhibitions/radiant-light-artistry-louis-c-tiffany/gallery#9)
