This is an unofficial list of colors and dates Kitten on a Pillow (1978-1990) and Miss Cotton the Kitten (1990 – 2002) were produced by Boyd 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.
Colors for Miss Cotton the Kitten are from the ones listed on Boyd’s official site – https://boydglass.com. I am missing a few dates for Kitten on a Pillow, which is not listed there. If you know what they are, or see any other inaccuracies, please contact me!
