    Description

    THE BOYD ART GLASS MADE MANY BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF HAND PRESSED GLASS DURING THEIR 36 YEARS (1978-2014) OF OPERATION IN CAMBRIDGE, OHIO.  THE BOYD'S NEVER REPEATED A COLOR IN ANY MOLD.
    THIS BOYD'S  "INDIAN ORANGE" SWAN, FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, IS ABOUT 5" LONG.  THE CAMBRIDGE GLASS CO., THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE MOLD, CONSIDERED IT A CANDY DISH.  IN 1928, THE CAMBRIDGE GLASS COMPANY BEGAN MAKING VARIOUS SIZE SWANS FOR SALT, CANDY, FFLOWERS AND OTHER USES.  THE IMPERIAL GLASS CO. BOUGHT THE MOLD AFTER CAMBRIDGE GLASS CO. CLOSED AND BOYD'S BOUGHT THE MOLD AFTER IMPERIAL CLOSED.   ALL THREE COMPANIES MADE  BEAUTIFUL SWANS, BUT ONLY BOYD'S MADE THEM IN MANY COLLECTIBLE COLORS.
    I BOUGHT THE SWAN ON A TRIP TO BOYD'S SHOWROOM IN THE 1980'S.
