An article on the history and terminology of beads and bugles used in embroidery and beadwork. It describes how glass beads and bugles are manufactured, traces the words through English literature, dictionaries, and London customs records (1696-1776), and discusses the confusion between the terms, with reference to trade beads, Venetian bead makers, and Stuart beadwork. Four plates show museum pieces: a stumpwork beadwork basket, a punto in aria cover, a beadwork casket, and a beaded pin cushion.
