Forest-Green Leaf-Relief Square Bonsai Pot with Flowing Rim – John Fazzino
Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This square pot channels the quiet energy of a shaded woodland floor. Leaf and branch motifs are pressed into the clay walls, then washed in a forest-green glaze that pools into earthy tan recesses. The rim drifts and folds like softened bark, giving a natural, flowing silhouette that contrasts the pot’s crisp interior geometry. Four stout pad feet lift the vessel just enough for airflow while preserving its grounded presence. The interior remains unglazed to nurture healthy roots, with a central drainage hole and multiple anchor holes for secure wiring.

John Fazzino has worked with clay since the late 1970s. He holds a BFA from RISD and an MFA from UMass Dartmouth, and has spent decades teaching and mentoring artists across New England.
Today, he’s channeling his creative energy into handmade bonsai pots—each one shaped with intention and designed to endure. Made with high-grog clay, his pots are strong, frost-resistant, and finished to a smooth, stone-like quality.
John lives and works in Mt. Pleasant, Providence, where his garden is both inspiration and testing ground. His bonsai pots aren’t just vessels—they’re collaborations between plant and pot, artist and earth.
