What SAR High School does

Little Light Pottery is a sole proprietorship founded in 2017 by ceramic artist Orit Daly, operating from Croton-on-Hudson in Northern Westchester County, New York. The business produces handmade stoneware ceramics — bowls, cups and mugs, vases and candlesticks, trays, platters, decorative tiles, and a Judaica line that includes Shabbat candle holders, Seder plates, and Chanukiot (Hanukkah menorahs). All functional pieces are food-safe, and the work blends decorative and practical uses; tiles, for example, can be fitted with wall hooks so they serve as decor until needed as service pieces. Designs are nature-inspired, drawn from the mountains and gardens of Northern Westchester County, and pieces can be personalized at customer request.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The primary sales channel is email inquiry to [email protected]; a website with browseable product pages and shop functionality provides a digital storefront but no visible transaction layer. Select works are also available through a retail partnership with the Croton River Artisans Gallery at 9 Old Post Rd South in Croton-on-Hudson, and the business plans to participate in seasonal events such as the Mother's Day Market 2026 at Windrose on Hudson. Marketing is limited to an Instagram presence (@little_light_pottery) and the website.

Little Light Pottery is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. The founder transitioned from a 20-year career as a middle and high school History teacher to focus on family and art, and production capacity is constrained to the output of a single artisan. The customer base consists of individual consumers seeking unique, handcrafted home ceramics, personalized gifts, and Jewish ceremonial ware; no enterprise, wholesale, or institutional customers are identified in the available data.
