Open Salts Boyd’s Crystal Art Glass John Degenhart started Degenhart Crystal Art Glass in 1947 producing many glass items with the first Salt being the Star & Dewdrop Master in 1952. After John’s death in 1964 his wife Elizabeth took over the business and ran it until her death in 1978. The business and equipment were then sold to Bernard C. Boyd and his Son Bernard F. Boyd, thus started Boyd’s Crystal Art Glass. The Boyd’s have continued the tradition of quality hand pressed glass at the same location in Cambridge, Ohio since that time. The following marks may be found on the Open Salts as indicate in this list.
