Handmade John Fazzino Bonsai Pot – 10" Oval with Deep Red Textured Glaze & Symbol for Love No. JF-054

Handmade Oval Bonsai Pot with Sacred Symbol for Love – John Fazzino

Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino

This handmade oval bonsai pot by John Fazzino features a sacred Japanese symbol for “Love” embossed into the clay. According to the artist, the symbol represents harmony between nature and spirit—an invitation to cultivate beauty, patience, and connection through bonsai.

Its exterior is richly textured with a deep, reddish-brown glaze that feels both ancient and alive. The oval form has an organic flow, while subtle ridging along the rim adds depth and interest. The interior remains unglazed for healthy root development, and the bottom is carved with Fazzino’s signature marks.

This piece isn’t just functional—it’s soulful.
