Victorian Winter Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Victorian Winter Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament that beautifully captures the nostalgic magic of winter and the charm of historic architecture. A treasured addition to both the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Snowman Collection, this exquisite artwork blends seasonal beauty with the timeless warmth that Moss collectors adore.

At the heart of Victorian Winter Ornament stands a grand Victorian home, richly detailed with ornate gables, a turret, wraparound porches, and snow-laden rooftops. Moss masterfully renders the character and elegance of this classic structure, highlighting its graceful lines and welcoming presence. Soft winter light settles over the house, illuminating its deep greens, warm browns, and delicate touches of frosty white.

In the foreground, a cheerful snowman greets the snowy day with a long scarf that flows dramatically in the winter breeze. The snowman appears almost animated—Moss’s playful style giving him personality and charm that brings the scene to life. Nearby, several delicate white deer wander peacefully through the yard, adding a sense of quiet wonder and natural harmony to the wintry setting.

The ornament’s frosted circular border frames the scene like a winter windowpane, inviting the viewer into a tranquil, storybook-like moment of seasonal beauty.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s signature folk-art style, Victorian Winter Ornament features expressive lines, soft textures, and a harmonious palette of wintry blues, muted greens, and warm highlights. The porcelain surface enhances each detail—the sturdy wooden porch railings, the snow-covered rooflines, the snowman’s gentle smile, and the soft stance of the deer.

As a numbered limited edition, this ornament preserves Moss’s elegant brushwork and subtle color transitions with clarity. The round composition feels complete and perfectly balanced, crafted to capture the peaceful stillness of winter afternoons. The frosted outer edge adds a shimmering, icy effect that enhances the ornament’s seasonal charm.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Victorian Winter Ornament is peaceful, nostalgic, and warmly festive. Moss draws inspiration from the beauty of Victorian architecture and the enchantment of winter landscapes, blending them into a scene that evokes comfort and childhood wonder. The presence of the snowman symbolizes joy, creativity, and the playful spirit of winter, while the deer add purity, grace, and a sense of quiet reverence.

Whether displayed only during the holidays or enjoyed as winter décor throughout the season, this ornament brings the serenity of snowfall, the magic of tradition, and the charm of pastoral life into any home.

Placement & Gift Ideas

Victorian Winter Ornament is delightful when hung on a Christmas tree using the included cord, displayed on a tiny easel, or incorporated into a winter-themed centerpiece. Its architectural elegance makes it particularly striking in living rooms, entryways, libraries, and formal dining areas.

This ornament makes a thoughtful gift for Moss collectors, architecture lovers, snowman enthusiasts, fans of Victorian design, or anyone who cherishes peaceful winter scenes.
