Matte-Glazed Ceramic Bonsai Pot – Coiled Serpent 19 x 19 x 19 cm

A one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted ceramic bonsai pot finished in a warm reddish-brown matte glaze, measuring 19 x 19 x 19 cm. Modelled to look like a block of aged, carved wood, its surfaces move between a smooth bark-like face, a deeply gouged scale-textured panel and a full-round serpent that coils over the rim and down one corner, its head coming to rest near the foot. Every side is worked by hand, so no two faces are alike.

The bold, sculptural cube suits a heavy, characterful tree — a thick-trunked upright, a twin-trunk or a rugged literati — where the pot becomes part of the composition rather than a plain container. Drainage and wiring holes are provided in the base, and it stands on four short feet. Sold as the empty pot only — no plant or soil included.
