Thank you for viewing! This item was used as a motif for drawing. It was usually kept as interior decoration. Also, I think it would be lovely as a pot cover for small houseplants or for mixed plantings. It doesn't appear to have any holes, but I cannot guarantee it will hold water. There is some soiling, but I think it was probably there from the beginning. I think it can be used in various ways depending on your ingenuity. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. #Flower vase #Flower stand #Flower container #Small item container #Ring pillow #Tin #Tin can #Antique #Retro #Vintage
