Content & Subject

And the Greatest of These Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament that radiates faith, love, and the beauty of tradition. The scene captures a tender winter moment as a horse-drawn carriage approaches a charming country church nestled among evergreens. Two delicate figures frame the composition, their gentle presence symbolizing the virtues of hope and charity.

The title draws inspiration from one of Scripture’s most beloved passages — “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13). Through her art, Moss reminds us that love is at the heart of all that is good and enduring.

Each porcelain ornament is kiln-fired for lasting brilliance, with the artist’s printed signature and edition details on the reverse. It arrives gift-boxed, ready to hang with the included cord or display year-round on a small easel (sold separately).
