Ceramic Chicken Ornament

Cluck yeah—your holiday decor just got a major upgrade. The Ceramic Chicken Ornament is the cheerful, hand-painted piece your tree (or window, or wall) has been waiting for. Each chicken is lovingly crafted by hand using organic stoneware clay and painted in colorful underglaze, giving it a personality all its own. Measuring approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches, this ornament is perfectly sized to stand out while still fitting beautifully among your favorite holiday pieces. It’s finished with a durable nylon cord for easy hanging and stamped on the back with the Melville Ceramics logo — a mark of authentic, small-batch craftsmanship.

Every chicken is a little different, because each one is made by hand in small batches by Kelsey Melville, the artist behind Melville Ceramics — a woman-owned studio based in Durham, North Carolina. Kelsey’s work celebrates natural textures, joyful colors, and playful forms, all rooted in eco-conscious design. Inspired by the seasons, landscapes, and the raw beauty of clay itself, her handmade pieces are created with care, creativity, and connection in mind.

This ornament isn’t just festive—it’s fun, funky, and full of handmade charm. Whether you’re gifting it to a chicken lover, starting a quirky ornament tradition, or simply looking to add something special to your own decor, the Ceramic Chicken Ornament brings warmth, whimsy, and a whole lot of cluckin’ joy to any space.
