Content & Subject

Party Boy Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a delightful and whimsical numbered, limited edition glass ornament that captures the joyful, mischievous spirit of the holidays through one of Moss’s most beloved subjects — her expressive fledgling bird. Part of the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Fledgling Bird Collection, this piece embodies both humor and sophistication, hallmarks of Moss’s unique artistic charm.

The ornament features a stylized bird character, affectionately known as the Party Boy, dressed in a festive harlequin-patterned vest with tones of black, ivory, and soft gray, accented by a bright red bow tie. The bird’s elongated form and fine linework reflect Moss’s signature aesthetic — elegant simplicity combined with subtle whimsy.

Rendered on a sleek, elongated glass drop shape, the design wraps gracefully around the ornament’s smooth surface. The bird appears poised and slightly comical, suggesting both refinement and playfulness — as though he’s ready to step into a festive celebration with confidence and flair.

A soft golden cord with a matching tassel tops the ornament, adding a touch of vintage sophistication and making it ready to hang on any Christmas tree or display stand.

Style & Technique
