Content & Subject

Jack-O-Lantern 1 Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament that captures the lighthearted joy and whimsy of Halloween. Part of both the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Halloween Collection, this delightful piece celebrates the season’s fun and mischief with Moss’s unmistakable folk-art charm.

At the center of the design glows a smiling jack-o-lantern, brought to life with character and warmth. Perched on a pedestal and topped with a tall, pointed witch’s hat, the pumpkin’s cheerful face radiates personality rather than fright—perfectly embodying Moss’s signature blend of humor, innocence, and artistry. The circular border in glowing orange tones frames the design like a full autumn moon, completing this festive composition.

Each Jack-O-Lantern 1 Ornament is made of fine porcelain, hand-numbered, and presented in an elegant gift box. It includes a gold cord for hanging on your Halloween tree or autumn décor, or it may be displayed all year on a tiny easel (sold separately).

The porcelain’s glossy surface enhances the artwork’s light and texture, allowing the pumpkin’s grin to glow with subtle radiance. Moss’s delicate linework and minimalist composition transform this seasonal subject into a timeless collectible that balances whimsy with refinement.
