A Purrfect Ride Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

A Purrfect Ride Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a limited edition porcelain ornament that captures the joyful whimsy of Christmas through the eyes of one of America’s most beloved folk artists. In this enchanting holiday scene, Santa and his merry sleigh are joined not by reindeer, but by a delightful team of cats—each wearing a festive red hat and full of holiday cheer.

A Purrfect Ride Ornament features a sleigh, draped in a warm patterned blanket, glides across a starlit sky above a snow-covered cottage. Behind Santa, a trio of gentle deer peek over the sleigh’s edge, surrounded by candy canes, a Christmas tree, and the soft glow of winter magic. The round porcelain design, bordered in gold, makes A Purrfect Ride Ornament both elegant and playful — a perfect reflection of Moss’s ability to celebrate the heart and humor of the holiday season.

Style & Technique

Moss’s folk-art charm and storytelling grace shine brightly in this piece. Her gentle watercolor palette — soft blues, creamy whites, and warm reds — evokes a peaceful winter’s night, while her whimsical touch turns ordinary Christmas traditions into imaginative delight. The fine porcelain surface preserves every detail, from the expressive cats pulling Santa’s sleigh to the tiny star twinkling above.

Each ornament is beautifully crafted and kiln-fired, ensuring both durability and lasting brilliance. The reverse side features the artist’s signature and edition information, confirming its authenticity and collectible value.
