Italian term or phrase: (lastre di) graniglia di vetro
lastre di graniglia di vetro

I know what the effect looks like, but don't know the equivalent in English.
You may get some idea from the following ref sites:

http://www.cavallarivetreria.com/catalogo/dbimg/sgr-5.jpg

or search images under "graniglia di vetro" on google.

If possible, I need an equivalent term which can be used by a specialist mosaic design company.

Thanks in advance for your help!
