12" John Fazzino Handmade Ceramic Pot (No. JF-019)

Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino

Sculptural and organic, this slab-built ceramic bonsai pot from John Fazzino brings the landscape into your hands. With its rugged edge and natural undulations, it resembles a weathered plateau or the contours of an ancient mountainside—each fold and ridge shaped by intention.

The earthy green and brown exterior blends into a creamy white interior glaze, creating a striking contrast that will frame your bonsai or accent plant beautifully. It's bold, functional, and utterly one-of-a-kind.

• Style: Slab-built with a rugged, naturalistic form
• Feet: Low-profile, integrated footing for subtle lift and stability
• Surface: Earthy texture and color transitions evoke moss-covered stone
