Vintage by Crystal – Whimsical Spun-Cotton Art

Handmade figures and ornaments filled with imagination, nostalgia, and old-world character

Crystal and Ben Sloane create vintage-inspired spun-cotton figures and ornaments in their upstate New York studio, reviving a decorative tradition with roots in nineteenth-century Germany. Each character is sculpted, assembled, painted, and finished by hand, transforming natural fibres, wire, paper, vintage finds, and carefully gathered materials into collectible American folk art.

Vintage by Crystal captures the spirit of traditional celebrations through wonderfully expressive Santas, woodland animals, storybook characters, mermaids, mushrooms, Halloween curiosities, Easter figures, nautical creatures, and seasonal ornaments. Some pieces are one of a kind, while others belong to open editions whose colours, materials, and details can vary according to what the artists discover and use.

BON TON goods is home to Europe’s largest Vintage by Crystal collection and the largest selection outside the United States. Rather than presenting the work only at Christmas, we bring together an extensive year-round world of holiday figures, animals, botanicals, seaside characters, and imaginative curiosities.

Explore the collection online or experience our extraordinary Vintage by Crystal presentation in Malmö. Whether decorating a Christmas tree, creating a Halloween display, assembling an Easter menagerie, or searching for a memorable gift, these handmade pieces bring personality, storytelling, and a sense of discovery to every celebration.
