Winter Sleigh Ornament by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject
Winter Sleigh Ornament by P. Buckley Moss is a numbered, limited edition porcelain ornament capturing the peaceful beauty and nostalgic charm of a winter sleigh ride. As part of both the Moss Ornament Collection and the Moss Winter Collection, this exquisite piece transports viewers into a serene snowy landscape where tradition, nature, and quiet companionship come together in perfect harmony.

At the center of Winter Sleigh Ornament, a graceful horse pulls a classic open sleigh across a snowy field. A man and woman sit cozily beneath a blanket, the soft blue of the woman’s scarf fluttering gently in the crisp winter air. The horse, rendered with Moss’s signature elongated elegance, appears strong and spirited as it glides effortlessly over the frozen landscape.

The winding, ice-blue stream beneath the sleigh carves a gentle path through the snow, leading the eye deeper into the peaceful winter scenery. Bare trees stretch delicately upward, their branches etched with the quiet simplicity that characterizes Moss’s winter works. The pale blue sky and soft snowfall tones create an atmosphere of stillness, reflection, and timeless beauty.

Style & Technique
Created in Moss’s signature folk-art technique, Winter Sleigh Ornament combines expressive linework with soft washes of color that evoke the calm and purity of winter. The porcelain surface highlights the subtle shading in the snow, the graceful contours of the sleigh, and the intricate strokes that bring the horse to life.

As a numbered limited edition, the ornament captures Moss’s delicate detailing with clarity—from the gentle texture of the landscape to the flowing movement of the horse in stride. The round format provides perfect balance and perspective, allowing the sleigh to appear as though it is gliding across a snow-draped world framed by nature.

The cool palette of blues, whites, and soft grays adds to the ornament’s tranquil, wintry ambiance, making it a soothing centerpiece for seasonal décor.

Mood & Inspiration
The mood of Winter Sleigh Ornament is serene, nostalgic, and quietly romantic. Moss captures the timeless beauty of winter afternoons, when the silence of the season is broken only by the rhythm of hooves on snow. The sleigh ride symbolizes warmth, connection, and the simple joys of time spent together in nature.

The bare trees, gently curving stream, and expansive snowfield evoke peaceful contemplation, suggesting that winter—though cold—holds deep beauty and unexpected moments of magic.
