Does anyone know what this item is?

I got this in a box of stuff from my parents. I'm not sure what it is or what I should do with it. So throw me some ideas, even if it is unrelated to what it should be used for. thank you.
a utensil holder or pot holder , small pots
It looks to me a pot holder. I would spray paint it and attach a chain or rope and put a pretty flowering potted plant inside and enjoy hanging from a shepherds hook or tree.
Looks like a wall mount utensil holder for the kitchen. Leave as is or paint it. Would make a nice bracelet or necklace holder. Turn it upside down, line it with some landscape fabric and sphagnum peat moss, fill with potting soil, plant some flowers in it. You can even poke holes in between the partitions and stick plants in the holes.
I believe in the picture it is upside down and is designed to be hung on an outside wall as a planter.

It's to hang your pots and pans on the wall.
You could hang it above your bed and add flowy material and lights and make a pseudo headboard
Hang your cooking utensils, small pots an pans, jewelry, lots of options.
Looks like a cup holder to me..although the outside planter sounds good as an upgrade.
bought one for $15. in mid 70s, used as pot rack till early 80s was repurposed to my dads work shop where he used to hang brushes, tools, bags and other mystery items. Returned to me in the mid 90s to be hung in my garden sun room with hanging , planting tools, knee pads,twine( you name it) till 2010 when moved to new home,currently now in my basement waiting for rebirth.
Love the outdoor ideas for plants! The hayrack look , would also look great with seasonal decor. My current home is log with black accents, roof, window trim, so would dress up an area, might try to hang humming bird feeders from. Keep the ideas coming!!
It's a wall mounted pot rack. I had the exact same one about 35 years ago!
I used to have one of these. It came with kitchen utensils like a ladle, flipper, whisk, etc. to hang up on the wall.
It's a pot holder. I had one and I loved it because it hangs flush against the wall. I also love all the other ideas.
I agree, it's a potholder.
Wall pot holder!
I would make a windchime out if it- beads,crystals and old silverware
My 93 year old grandmother has one of these in her kitchen. She hangs her large spoons, ladles, spatulas, and other large utensil on it.
Pot hanger..
Pot holder
I had one of these back in the 70's, it is a wall pot holder
if you wear scarves, paint it a pretty color and use it on your bedroom wall to hang scarves on. Or maybe on a wall or fence outside and hang miniature pails on it with succulents in them. You could even use screen and coconut fiber (found in garden dept of Home Depot & Lowe's, etc.) and put a plant in the top portion.
It's for hanging pots and pans
Angela is correct- it's a large ladle and spoon holder- not a pot holder. Our moms hung large metal ladles, spatulas and spoons on it.
Had something very similar and use it as a wall hung key holder.
It's a plant holder put Pete Moss in it and then any plant you want or flowers
Its a pots and pans hanger, check out, " The Big Bang Theory" they have one hanging in their kitchen....
Pot or utensil holder
Looks like what I used to hang side drapes over twin beds, like an abreviated canopy bed.
It's defiantly a pot holder!

I vote for pot and pan holder. These and others are what us older people used when we didn't have so many crafty minds around to get better ideas from. But I still have a pot hanger on my wall today.
Could also be mug holder
According to the size, I think it's probably a pot rack. My mom had one that looked just like it before her kitchen fire.
Definitely a pot holder.
yes! a potor more likely a pan holder. I've never seen them with huge stockpots or dutch ovens hanging off of them.
It definitely looks like a pot holder, but you could use it to hang aprons, utensils, cups, baseball caps etc.
I would definitely say its a pot holder. I'd hang it up and use it. They are very convenient.
It is a pot rack for your Kitchen pots and pans hang on the wall

I have one the same which I bought at a market and I use it as a utensil holder in my kitchen.
It is setting the right way. There are 4 screw holes so you can screw it to the wall and hang cooking pots from their handles.

I had 1 in the 70's as a pot hanger, yuk ...dust collector. Best in a professional kitchen.
It is a pot rack and it can also be used to hang utensils. I have one just like it and I love it.
It's a pot rack.
Hang it on the wall and hang pots or utensils from the hooks
- As been said it's a pot holder - just bought a cottage and there was one of these in the kitchen and what did I do first - whacked my head on the corner hook! So it's left the building to be re-purposed for a hanger for BBQ utensils, hot-mitts etc. in an effort to lessen the traffic from deck to my kitchen drawers!
I have the exact same thing. it holds pot & pans with long handles, also fry pans. I got mine in 1968 with S & H Green Stamps.
A pot rack
It's hung on the wall and pots with holes in the handles are hung from it. My daughter has one just like it.
I had one just like it in my apartment. It is just half of a pot hanger for the wall to save space.
These were made and used from mid 1700s to early 1900s for high end house kitchens and restraunts. As others have said herein , used for kitchen utensils etc. Compact and low profile early form of what we use today. If you look at how its made and how it attached to a wall it was originally designed for Cast iron pans. It can handle alot of weight.
Pot holder which can be converted into a "chandelier" upside down. Have fun!
It is a pot or pan rack you hang on the wall. To keep your pans handy.
It looks like my wine holder
it's a pot and pan holder. I have two of these. One round one that hangs from the ceiling and one half round like this one and hangs on the wall. Use it for what you want it to be. Nothing is made that can't be used for other things. Use your imagination.
A pot holder

Hang in the entryway or by back door to hang coats on when company arrives.
It looks like a cup holder to me, but would be cute to hold scarves or necklaces

Its a pot holder! Looks like wrought iron.
I want it!!!!!!
It's a pot rack. Everyone had them in the 70's.
it is a pot holder. i had one years ago.
I agree -- holds pots/pans and/or utensils. Last year I found one about one foot wide at a yard sale for a dollar. I was delighted as I had been trying to figure out how I could hang some old utensils of my Grandma's. It fits perfectly between some shelves and a door. I can still see her frying chicken and turning it with a long two-pronged fork -- and that was 70 years ago.
it's a pot and pan holder. I bought one exactly like it years ago
I looked around online and found something that looks very similar here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Iron-Half-Round-Pot-Rack-Wall-Mount-w-hooks-USA-/200345714469
It seems the hooks are rather close for pots and pans. They would be rubbing and pushing at each other? I want to say cooking utensil holder. But it could reincarnate into any one of the above suggestions. Could be used as an umbrella hanger. Or anything your imagination conjures up. It's really neat. Enjoy!
That is a pot hanger
Yes, it is a pot rack. I have one hanging in my kitchen, and I love it.
I think it is a basket holder for flowers that hangs on the outside wall that you put that brown looking grass or whatever it is called in it.
It is definitely a pot holder, however, if you don't want it hanging in the kitchen, would it suit the decor of your bathroom(s) and serve as a towel hanger?
I really don't know but I would use it to hang a flower basket in the center since it has those things that look like you could attach a chain to and I would hang smaller pots around the bottom at different lengths to have even more of a show stopper.
hang on kitchen wall and hang cups on hooks
I would add some lights to it and mount it on a wall [inside or out] for a cool, one of a kind light fixture....
Pot holder....
A wreath, with Christmas ornaments hanging on the hooks.
I have one. Wall mounted key holder.
Think this is a wall pot hanger but it can be anything you want it to wish I had it on the patio to hang plants even one large one in the middle and train hanging vined with plant Velcro on the hooks could be so pretty on your wall on the patio..
It's normally used in the kitchen attached to the wall where you can hang utensils, pots or even small plants with hangers...
Could be for hanging coats, hats and umbrellas on. Don't know why it is circular like that.
It's a pot holder for your kitchen. Usually it's the nice copper pots that I've seen used for hanging. Enjoy đŸ˜‰ God bless you
It's for hanging pots and pans.
its upside down, you put plant straw (i can't think of what you call it) dirt and a plant!
