8" Copper-Blue “Eroded Cliff” Round Bonsai Pot – John Fazzino No. JF-059

Copper-Blue “Eroded Cliff” Round Bonsai Pot – John Fazzino

Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino

This round pot feels carved straight from a seaside bluff. Deep, eroded textures form ledges and crevices that catch a flowing glaze of copper brown, denim blue, and pale mineral cream. The softly rounded rim is finished in glossy amber, while the body below shifts in tide-like swirls of blue and violet. Four rugged pad feet lift the pot just enough for airflow without breaking the illusion of natural stone. Inside, the surface is left unglazed for vigorous roots, with a large central drainage hole and eight smaller anchor holes for secure wiring.
