Fabulous antique industrial steel sieve of some sort.. possibly milk related or restarant, I'm not certain but it makes a gorgeous planter. Wonderful old patina & oozing wabi-sabi, it works beautifully for a large indoor fern or outdoors come warmer days with flowers spilling over the sides.
Good weight & stable. Measures 10.5" h x 13.5" w, 15" w across handles.
