HOLIDAY ORNAMENT #149

This ceramic reader ornament has a quiet, thoughtful charm that makes it especially appealing to anyone who loves books. I shape each piece by hand in my studio and paint the red glasses, soft facial features, and deep green book individually before glazing it. The small details, from the gentle blush on the cheeks to the subtle shading in the book’s cover, create a peaceful, intimate scene.

The ornament includes a ribbon so it can be hung right away. The glaze gives it a smooth, luminous finish, and the hand-painted touches make each one slightly different. The muted greens, soft creams, and warm reds blend together in a way that feels calm and cozy, making this ornament a lovely fit for both traditional and modern holiday decorations.

This piece makes a thoughtful gift for readers, teachers, writers, or anyone who appreciates quiet moments and handmade art. It works well in ornament collections, seasonal displays, or even hung in a reading nook year-round. It is one of those small treasures that feels personal and comforting.
