9" John Fazzino Handmade Bonsai Pot – Square with Forest Green Glaze No. JF-027

Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino

This square pot by John Fazzino feels like it was pulled straight from the forest floor—earthy, textured, and rich with natural depth. The outer surface features a forest green glaze that softly drips into a bark-like texture, while the interior remains unglazed with a warm golden clay tone.

The rim has a gentle ripple that gives the form a softened, hand-touched character, and each foot is individually formed to raise the pot slightly for airflow and balance. It’s an excellent choice for compact compositions or shohin trees needing a grounded yet expressive container.

• Style: Square form with softened corners and organic rim
• Feet: Four raised, hand-shaped feet
• Exterior: Forest green glaze with layered texture and flow
