Country Ride Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

The Country Ride Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament from the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Historic Landmark Collection. This enchanting winter scene captures the cozy charm of small-town Americana and pays tribute to a beloved local treasure — the Corwin-Nixon Covered Bridge in Waynesville, Ohio.

Country Ride Ornament, a graceful horse-drawn sleigh glides through the snow toward the festively adorned covered bridge. A pair of geese stroll across the white landscape, and the bare winter trees frame the scene in quiet beauty. A wreath and red bow decorate the bridge entrance, welcoming travelers with warmth and cheer. The ornament’s border, filled with golden stars and holly, adds a festive finishing touch that glows with nostalgia and seasonal joy.

Each Country Ride Ornament is crafted from fine porcelain, hand-numbered, and gift boxed for presentation. It includes a gold cord for hanging on your Christmas tree or may be displayed on a tiny easel (available separately).

Style & Technique

Moss’s folk-art precision and storytelling grace shine in this winter landscape. Her delicate brushwork, combined with soft shading and warm color contrasts, conveys both stillness and motion — the rhythm of hooves on snow, the crisp air, and the peaceful beauty of the countryside.

The detailed border of stars and holly is a charming for Country Ride Ornament, embellishment unique to this design, framing the central image with a festive elegance. Each ornament reflects Moss’s extraordinary ability to transform everyday rural moments into heartfelt works of art.
