Drill holes in then and make succulent planters.

Just admitting that I am in serious envy here because of this gorgeous find!! The buggers scatter and hide anytime I go looking. I just want to say these are glorious no matter how you use them!!!!!

On the coffee table filled with moss balls, christmas balls when in season. Gorgeous bowls, seriously envious.

WHOA, hold all your horses as my friend just told me he htinks they are from the art deco period and nothing should be done not even cleaned until you find our. Damn perfect timing and very glad I was still drooling!

Very nice. Look like they are copper. I would lightly clean them, leaving some of the verdigris patina. Display them as is, they are nice.

Fruit and veggies in the kitchen or dining room. Plant succulents. Force spring bulbs. If they truly are something special, leave the patina intact and sell them babies!

I would check if they are of any value before I did anything . I think they are nice as they are, conversation pieces.

would make a nice waterfall display by your gutters. Seal them with a waterproof spray first.

What is the best way to clean them (copper) but also keep the look?

Can be used as bathroom sink, especially powder room where heavy use is not an issue!

I wouldn't clean them back to copper color because the verdris is perfect. Hearth decor? Scented pine cones? Poppurri?

Water feature for sure!! I actually did one in my fireplace (afraid of attic fire) and added fairies and mushrooms, etc.

i think it would be beautiful as a water fountain in your yard or inside your home.

I would attach hanging plant chains to them and hang them as bird baths in your garden.
