Seafoam Textured Round Bonsai Pot with Wrapped Rim – John Fazzino
Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino
This round, sea-tinted pot evokes coastal stone polished by waves. Organic leaf-like textures wrap the walls beneath a vibrant turquoise glaze that breaks to soft teal along the rim. Four hand-applied “wraps” hug the lip, suggesting careful mending and quiet resilience. Inside, the surface is left unglazed for optimal root health, while the base carries Fazzino’s stamp beside two large drainage holes and six finer vent holes. Recessed pad feet lift the vessel just enough for airflow, keeping its low, grounded profile intact.
