Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This handcrafted pot by John Fazzino features a rugged bark-like texture and an organic kidney shape that flows effortlessly across the bench. Designed to evoke the feel of natural stone, it has an earthy, unglazed finish with soft green undertones that give the piece warmth and age.
The inside is left unglazed with a sandy, natural clay tone that complements the rugged exterior. It’s a perfect choice for a shohin composition, mixed planting, or forest design.
