11" Slate-Blue Crosshatch Rectangular Bonsai Pot with Flared Corners – John Fazzino No. JF-063

Slate-Blue Crosshatch Rectangular Bonsai Pot with Flared Corners – John Fazzino

Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino

This refined rectangular pot mirrors weather-worn stone. Subtle crosshatch patterns are scored into the clay walls, then coated in a smoky slate-blue glaze that gathers in the recesses and breaks to soft pewter along the rim. Each corner drifts upward into a gentle flare, adding lift and elegance to the low profile. Four trim pad feet raise the vessel just enough for airflow, while the unglazed interior floor features three large drainage holes and multiple anchor holes for secure wiring.
