    I found this yesterday at my local thrift. I found a couple online that were kind of similar but they titled theirs as "urn planters". Is that the right term or is it something else. I don't buy these much so kind of new to it. Thanks for any info!

    Looks like a modern reproduction decorative thing. Kind of thing sold at big plant nurseries. Not sure what it’s call.. Maybe a pedestal planter?

    I'd use it as a fruit bowl.

    Is that a one piece casting or is the basket part attached to the pedestal (bolted or welded)? If that is a one piece casting then that is one heck of an intricate foundry pattern to build.
    If 2 pieces I'm wondering if it isn't a marriage between 2 unrelated castings? (just wondering out loud)
