Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This abstract oval pot by John Fazzino stands out with its deep cobalt glaze and heavily textured exterior. The glaze flows over a carved surface, creating an energetic, almost kinetic appearance that’s both sculptural and functional. The undulating rim adds organic movement, while the interior features a smooth, light clay wash that brightens the planting space.
The base features six distinct feet, each carved and highlighted in rich blue. Drainage and wiring holes are carefully integrated, and the stone-like finish is the result of John’s high-grog clay and precise firing process.

Meet the Artist: John Fazzino
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.
