Noel Noel Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Noel Noel Ornament by P. Buckley Moss holds a special place in the artist’s legacy — it is the very first ornament ever produced by P. Buckley Moss, marking the beginning of what would become one of the most beloved collectible series in American art. This numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament from the Moss Ornament Collection and Moss Amish Collection captures the warmth, simplicity, and deep faith that define Moss’s connection to the Amish community.

The artwork depicts a family riding together in a horse-drawn buggy through a snowy countryside. Wrapped in blue shawls and winter coats, the family sings Christmas carols — their joy shining even in the quiet chill of winter. A red bow decorates the front of the buggy, adding a cheerful touch to the soft palette of blues, whites, and browns. The border is adorned with holly and berries, framing the scene in a wreath-like pattern that radiates holiday spirit.

Noel Noel Ornament beautifully embodies the themes of faith, family, and tradition, celebrating the peace of rural life during the Christmas season. The gentle harmony between figures, landscape, and color reflects Moss’s belief in finding divine grace within everyday moments.

Style & Technique

Painted in P. Buckley Moss’s signature watercolor and ink technique, Noel Noel Ornament captures the essence of her early work — clean lines, soft tonal layers, and a deep emotional connection between subject and setting. The luminous porcelain surface enhances her delicate brushwork, making the winter hues appear serene and glowing.

The ornament’s circular form, surrounded by a holly pattern and golden rim, frames the composition like a miniature window into a timeless winter memory. Moss’s figures, gentle and elongated, carry the quiet dignity of her folk art style, while the buggy and horse are rendered with nostalgic authenticity.

Each Noel Noel Ornament is hand-numbered, gift boxed, and includes a cord for hanging, or may be displayed on a tiny easel (sold separately). Its craftsmanship and historic significance make it an essential piece for collectors.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Noel Noel Ornament is joyful, peaceful, and nostalgic — an intimate portrait of family and faith during the Christmas season. Moss was inspired by her many visits to Amish country, where she found inspiration in the community’s simplicity, devotion, and timeless way of life.

By choosing to depict a family singing in a buggy, Moss connects the viewer to the universal joy of Christmas carols, togetherness, and the enduring beauty of tradition. The soft blues suggest calm and contentment, while the pops of red and green bring a festive note that warms the winter scene.

Noel Noel Ornament also symbolizes a new beginning in Moss’s artistic journey. As her very first ornament, it represents the moment her love for art and her love for storytelling came together in a form that could be shared, gifted, and cherished by collectors year after year.
