Boyd Art Glass Figurines & Salt Cellars
Bernard C. Boyd and his son Bernard F. Boyd formed Boyd's Crystal Art Glass in October 1978 in Cambridge, Ohio. The company was formerly Degenhart Glass, and when Elizabeth Degenhart died in that year, she stipulated in her will that Bernard Boyd senior, who had worked for her as a glass maker, should be given the first option to buy the factory. He bought the factory and the molds, all except 15 molds that Elizabeth wished to see retired and preserved. The Degenhart trademark of a heart and a D was removed by Island Moulds, of Wheeling WV, and replaced with the new Boyd trademark, the B in a diamond. The Boyd trademark changes every five years, pieces with a B in a diamond were produced from 1978 to 1983, pieces with a B in a diamond and a line below were produced from 1983 to 1988, pieces with a B in a diamond and a line above and below were produced from 1988 to 1993, pieces with a B in a diamond and a line above, below and on the right side were produced from 1993 to 1998, pieces with a B in a diamond and lines on all four sides were produced from 1998 to 2003, pieces with a B in a diamond and lines on all four sides with a small B in the upper left corner were produced from 2003 to present. Boyd Crystal Art Glass pieces are highly collectible due to the fact that they will not repeat a color in any mold.
