I have had three of these heavy pieces of iron works for years and I can not think of a good up-cycle for them.

I will say they would make such a statement painted as a art sculpture if you are into gardening

Flip upside down & make light sconces? Can a small light fit under that curved section? They could be used behind bedside table. Maybe use one for a fountain feature. I would most likely screw one to piece of wood & add key hooks along sides & one or two coat hooks at bottom. Good luck, nice pieces!

Attach all three together to make a French planter. You can put it on a bare wall or under a window. I would paint them black and add hanging plants.

spray paint in a bright color for each and hand them on your weathered fence. Place a solar light in the cup of each. They will look great. Spray and put a succulant in each cup with a little moss. Hang on fence and let go.

If it is cast you may not be able to weld it we use art work like this with a metal rod placed behind fastened with black zip ties to hold up large flowers like sasha daisies from falling over

Just hang them on the wall in a cluster. They would really make a statement.

if the section that looks like a bowl has a little width/depth, line & put succulents or small vine in it.

Would make an interesting addition to a mailbox post, or for the top portion of a gate. Or paint it a pretty color to sit upright in your garden or yard. I do that with an iron piece that I have. It adds a pop of color to my landscape.

Your preference of rustic or bright colors --pretty accent on a patio or porch wall wrapped with mini string lights

If large enough: Make a garden bench. if small make the bench for children: use one on each end of bench (use pallet) they use 3rd one for the back.

Hang on fence or wall for fern or cascading plant. Keep natural finish or paint either would look great

I'd hang it on a fence if you have one.... or attach a post to it to insert it into the ground as a garden ornament. If you really can't think of a place you'd like to use it in your own home/yard, then sell it to someone who might enjoy it :-)
