This is an unofficial list of colors and dates Kitten on a Pillow (1978-1990) and Miss Cotton the Kitten (1990 – 2002) which were produced by Boyd’s Crystal Art Glass. There were fewer colors produced per year in the later years. Color swatches are sampled from photos -they are provided to give you a general idea of the color family, however they are not very accurate as far as representing the exact colors – especially when depicting carnival and slag. Many of the glass mixes used to make Boyd cats contain uranium, manganese or cadmium, and glow when exposed to ultraviolet light.
All Boyd cats are marked. Boyd changed their mark every 5 years – mark changes are noted on these lists.
Colors for Miss Cotton the Kitten are from the ones listed on Boyd’s official site – https://boydglass.com. Colors for the Kitten on a Pillow were from Boyd’s own publication. They should all be good, but if you find any inaccuracies, please contact me!
