Moss Christmas Goose Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Moss Christmas Goose Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament that beautifully captures the warmth, humor, and heart of the holiday season through one of Moss’s most beloved subjects — the Canada goose. Part of both the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Goose Collection, this delightful piece embodies the joyful spirit of Christmas and the artist’s timeless appreciation for nature’s gentle grace.

At the center of the design stands a majestic goose adorned with a lush green holiday wreath draped around its body. The wreath is dotted with festive red berries and tied with an oversized crimson bow, creating a cheerful contrast against the goose’s sleek black neck and golden-brown feathers. The minimalist background allows the charming composition to take center stage, framed by a fine gold circle border that lends a classic, elegant finish.

This heartwarming design is both playful and sophisticated — a perfect reflection of Moss’s ability to blend simplicity, symbolism, and seasonal joy into one endearing image.

Style & Technique

In Moss Christmas Goose Ornament, P. Buckley Moss’s iconic watercolor technique shines through in its clarity and warmth. Her signature fine linework and delicate color washes bring life to the goose’s feathers, while the vivid reds and greens of the holiday wreath capture the festive vibrancy of the season. The porcelain surface enhances the luminosity of her palette, giving the ornament a rich, refined finish that glows under holiday lights.

Each ornament is hand-numbered, gift boxed, and includes a cord for hanging, or may be displayed on a tiny easel (sold separately). The circular shape and radiant composition make this ornament a standout piece on any tree or tabletop display.

Moss’s mastery lies in her ability to infuse even the simplest imagery with warmth and emotion. The goose — a recurring motif throughout her work — stands as a symbol of loyalty, family, and peace. Adorned for the holidays, it becomes a joyful messenger of goodwill and homecoming.

Mood & Inspiration

Moss drew inspiration from the Canada goose, one of her most iconic symbols, often representing steadfast love and unity. In this special Christmas design, the goose becomes a symbol of celebration and generosity, embodying the welcoming spirit of the season.

The wreath, traditionally a circle of life and renewal, combined with the bright red bow, evokes warmth, togetherness, and the joy of giving. Moss’s use of clean composition and open space allows the viewer to feel a sense of calm amid the holiday bustle — a gentle reminder of what truly matters: peace, love, and connection.
