Finish for twig pot with bark

To me bark looks better with no finish. If you have to apply a finish to it use a satin to reduce that reflectivity.

When I finish a piece with multiple coats of Waterlox(3-6) I put one light coat of waterlox on the bark.
one coat is a soft non shiny finish.

Similar to Al's method, with polymerized tung oil, one or two coats on the bark, with 4-5 coats on the rest.
