Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This compact square bonsai pot by John Fazzino is all charm and contrast, with its sculpted wide lip and textural glaze. The surface ranges from olive-gray to earthy bronze, with a hand-carved rim that softens the angular form. It’s a bold little pot, perfect for small trees that deserve a stage.
The hand-formed feet are slightly recessed, while the base features carved texture and John’s signature stamp—making this a functional piece of art for your shohin or accent collection.
