Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This compact square pot by John Fazzino feels aged and grounded, with its golden green glaze pooling around deep texture and surface carvings. It’s rustic, yet refined—perfectly suited for shohin or accent trees that need a pot with presence.
The thick walls and strong lines are softened by subtle curves at each corner. Inside, the pot is left unglazed with natural clay that fires to a warm, reddish-brown tone, giving it a lived-in character that complements aged trees or earthy compositions.
