Many of us in the bonsai community appreciate pieces that reflect strength and character. This Lu Zhishen planter becomes a part of your bonsai's journey, offering a unique foundation to style a tree with a powerful, dramatic form.

By choosing this handcrafted figurine bonsai planter, you are not only acquiring a unique piece for your collection but also supporting a community of artisans in Vietnam, helping them preserve a centuries-old craft for future generations. What story will you create with it?

This mudman bonsai pot is handcrafted in Bat Trang, a Vietnamese village with a ceramic history spanning over 700 years. Our partner workshop, with 22 years of experience, continues this legacy. Each planter begins as raw local clay, shaped and detailed by artisans who have inherited their skills through generations.

The piece is then fired at 1200°C for durability and finished with a protective glaze that gives it a distinct, lasting appearance. The subtle variations in each hand-painted detail mean your planter is a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.

Crafted from durable Hoang Tho clay, your Viet Potter figurine can withstand water and outdoor conditions.
