Newly arrived spun-cotton ornaments and handcrafted seasonal curiosities

Discover the latest creations from Vintage by Crystal, where Crystal and Ben Sloane revive the rare art of 19th-century German spun-cotton ornament making through handcrafted figures filled with nostalgia, whimsy, and old-world charm.

Handmade in their upstate New York studio, each figure is sculpted, assembled, and finished by hand using traditional techniques inspired by antique holiday decorations and Victorian-era festive treasures. Woodland animals, holiday characters, mushrooms, rabbits, birds, Halloween curiosities, and folkloric seasonal figures appear throughout the collection with remarkable detail and personality.

Both collectible and deeply nostalgic, these spun-cotton ornaments bring softness, texture, and storybook atmosphere to Christmas trees, Easter displays, Halloween interiors, and year-round cabinets of curiosities. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, giving each work a distinct handmade presence.

At BON TON goods, we curate Vintage by Crystal for its craftsmanship, imagination, and ability to recapture the magic of antique holiday traditions through beautifully handcrafted modern heirlooms.

Tip: Spun-cotton ornaments feel most magical when mixed with candlelight, antique decorations, velvet ribbon, and natural greenery that highlight their softness and handcrafted detail.
