8.25" Textured Natural Clay Sara Rayner Bonsai Pot – Volcanic Finish, Round Oval
This dramatic round-oval bonsai pot is a hand-built studio piece by Sara Rayner, featuring one of her most sought-after textured surface styles. This pot was purchased directly from her display at the 2025 U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition and has never been used—making it a pristine, collector-grade example.
The exterior is finished in a rugged, volcanic stone-like texture with natural clay tones of soft ash grey, iron oxide red, and warm earthy browns. It has the look of hand-carved stone or weathered lava rock—perfect for trees with age, character, and movement.
