Content & Subject

Sweet Nectar Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament that captures one of nature’s most enchanting moments—a delicate hummingbird pausing mid-flight to sip from a soft purple blossom. Rendered with Moss’s signature gentleness, this exquisite ornament belongs to the Moss Ornament Collection as well as the beloved Moss Bird Collection, making it a treasured addition for collectors and bird enthusiasts alike. On the smooth porcelain surface of Sweet Nectar Ornament, Moss presents a single hummingbird suspended in graceful motion. Its wings are lightly lifted, suggesting that magical hum that only hummingbirds create as they hover. The bird’s iridescent greens, soft browns, and subtle highlights contrast beautifully with the elegant lavender bloom, whose trumpet shape opens upward as if offering a gift. The round ornament is bordered in a soft mottled blue pattern that frames the moment like a window into nature’s poetry. Throughout this description, Sweet Nectar Ornament emerges as a celebration of small wonders—those fleeting encounters between beauty and stillness that Moss captures so well. The hummingbird, a symbol of joy, vitality, and hope, embodies both fragility and power in a single fluttering gesture. Moss translates that emotion onto porcelain with stunning clarity, making Sweet Nectar a timeless keepsake for collectors.

The porcelain surface of Sweet Nectar Ornament intensifies the clarity of Moss’s delicate strokes, capturing the nuances of the bird’s feathers and the gentle curves of the bloom. The blue textured border adds a handcrafted feel, grounding the ornament in Moss’s traditional aesthetic. This thoughtful execution makes Sweet Nectar not only a beautiful ornament but also a miniature work of fine art.
