Boyd’s Crystal Art Glass, Inc. opened in October 1978 by the father and son team of Bernard C. and Bernard F. Boyd. They represent the second and third generation of Boyd glass-makers. Bernard C. Boyd’s father, Zack Boyd began working for Cambridge Glass in 1901 at the age of 13. He honed his skills and style working for 26 different factories, and taking a proactive roll in the Degenhart Glass Co. When owner John Degenhart passed in 1964, Elizabeth continued manufacturing glass with the help of Zack Boyd, introducing her own molds and colors before her passing in 1978. As Boyd had retired from Cambridge Glass, and was 76 years old, he enlisted the help of his son Bernard C. in the company affairs. Bernard C. was also a Cambridge product, and a practicing psychiatric aid at the state hospital. Upon Zack’s passing in 1968, Gus Therat was engaged to run the day to day operations. Bernard C. Boyd continued to help Elizabeth Degenhart in administration until 1976, when he began his own full time glass business. Elizabeth joined John in 1978, and after a short shut down, the Degenhart facility was purchased outright by Bernard C. and his son Bernard F. Boyd, supported by his own wife & son. His knowledge has since passed to his son, his sons son and his sons - sons son. In their current modest shop you find a man and mold handcrafting collectible glass pieces. In another room, there’s a lady hand painting pieces and in the third room, there’s plenty of glass art to browse or buy. Boyd’s Crystal Art Glass is made Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. The showroom is open until 4 p.m. Boyd’s is located at 1203 Morton Avenue in Cambridge, Ohio.
