Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This round handmade pot from John Fazzino is a visual and tactile experience—textured, earthy, and bold. Its highly organic outer surface features a rich forest green glaze with golden undertones that seem to shimmer across its rugged skin.
The interior offers a surprise: a soft, swirling sky-blue glaze that feels like a quiet pool nestled inside a lush forest. This contrast of texture and tone adds incredible depth to any bonsai or companion planting, especially when viewed up close.
