Handmade Bonsai Pot by John Fazzino

The hand-formed feet are slightly recessed, while the base features carved texture and John’s signature stamp—making this a functional piece of art for your shohin or accent collection.

Meet the Artist: John Fazzino
John Fazzino has worked with clay since the late 1970s. He holds a BFA from RISD and an MFA from UMass Dartmouth, and has spent decades teaching and mentoring artists across New England.
Today, he’s channeling his creative energy into handmade bonsai pots—each one shaped with intention and designed to endure. Made with high-grog clay, his pots are strong, frost-resistant, and finished to a smooth, stone-like quality.
John lives and works in Mt. Pleasant, Providence, where his garden is both inspiration and testing ground. His bonsai pots aren’t just vessels—they’re collaborations between plant and pot, artist and earth.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
