Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This oval bonsai pot by John Fazzino is a dynamic blend of earthy tones and intricate detail. A soft cream base meets flowing turquoise glaze, which drips naturally across the hand-carved vertical textures. The organic rim is slightly irregular, adding visual movement, while the interior wall features subtle raised floral impressions that echo the highly decorative carved underside.
It’s a pot that celebrates both texture and form—suited for mame or shohin compositions that demand a container with as much character as the tree itself.
