A unique Judaical housewarming gift, this is a whimsical light blue and white, non-kosher, porcelain mezuzah design in the form of a sleeping white puppy with a blue flower tucked in behind the ear, curled up on a fringed rug.

Three low-relief, blue and white porcelain wall sculptures of fish, each with a blue head and tail and on their midsections, a small, hand-painted scene of a person standing in water up to their chest as clouds pass by behind them.

Set of nine playful porcelain cups arranged into three rows, but a hand is holding one cup. Each row is a gradient section of a rainbow, and each cup features a hand-drawn eye, nose, mouth or asterisk, so that stacked they make a rearrangeable face.

A pair of cast, white porcelain hand sculptures with a satin finish designed as unique wedding, long-distance relationship or engagement gifts, one with a gold bandaid on the fingertip and one with a gold pinky ring.

Four ounce, round white porcelain cup hand-painted with a blonde hair figure (a dubious river deity) holding a bird the way one might hold a cup. Above the head of the figure is written the word "Cheers!"

Against an ivy wall, five hollow-cast yellow birds with hand-drawn eyes and white bellies (which are lovely all-occasion gifts) are suspended by yellow satin cord from a stick held by a hand on the left side of the frame.

Seven white porcelain cups with ocean blue interiors and one or two soft wavy blue lines hand-painted on the exterior. The cups hold four ounces and are designed to hold saki, amaro, espresso, whiskey, juice, or any sipping beverage.

Santito’s mission is to bring into your world beloved handmade ceramic objects that elevate your everyday activities into moments of playful ceremony…

Art at the service of your life.

Two porcelain “cheering” cups with weathered blue interiors and glossy black exteriors, hand-painted with a sky-colored face with simple drawn features. The cups hold four ounces of saki, amaro, espresso, whiskey, juice, or any sipping beverage.

Animals

Santito hopes to grow in ways that really serve this little town along the Susquehanna where we’re located. For now, we’re starting simple: Five dollars from every yellow bird we sell will be donated to the maintenance of Keithan’s Bluebird Gardens, a stunning little respite of a park, miraculously wedged between the highway and the meat processing plant in Sunbury, PA.

Be the yellow bird you want to see in the world…

“So this family decides to go to the zoo, right? (Suspend your feelings about zoos for a second.) They pay their admission and walk in, but all the cages are empty. They walk through the whole place and there are no animals anywhere, except at the very end there is one single cage with one single dog in it. (It was a Shih Tzu.)”

(Bold, vulnerable, destined to bring joy or at least reserved bemusement…and bad jokes on occasion.)
