Boyd Cat / Kitten Colors

This page might contain affiliate links – this means I may earn a little coffee money if you purchase using these links. There is no extra cost to you.

Information about Boyd’s cat figurines – 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 and / 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 our lists.

Kitten on a Pillow (46 colors)

Boyd Kitten on Pillow - Sandpiper

Kitten on a Pillow was an original Boyd mould.  The Kitten on a Pillow was made in 46 colors, all with the first (B in a diamond) Boyd mark. The list and some examples can be found on our Kitten on a Pillow color list page. The color list for the Kitten on a Pillow is NOT on Boyd’s website.

Miss Cotton the Kitten

Boyd Miss Cotton - Ruby Red
The mould for Miss Cotton was made by removing the pillow from Boyd’s Kitten on a Pillow mould. Colors for Miss Cotton the Kitten are from the color list on Boyd’s official site – https://boydglass.com.
