This is a holy water font that I could not say no to because of the quality workmanship. I am thinking a plant stand but would appreciate any other ideas. Thanks in advance.
Make a bubbling water fountain for the garden? if its stone. Take the cross off the top cover to make the water come through.... http://www.bhg.com/home-improvement/porch/outdoor-rooms/outdoor-fountain/
A corner table with lamp? Build shelving unit for the top?
You answered your own question hun...it was good craftsmanship. How about a planter after you paint it something fun?
A lamp stand, umbrella holder, does it open? if it does could make a cool mini bar

A beautiful plant stand, or if you have a formal home, you could put a nice statue or bust on top of it in a corner of a room
Leave it as is and put it in a prominent place for display. It's beautiful.
put a plant in it
I agree with Bj Blyth. Leave it as is ...in a hallway.. balcony... it is a beautiful piece of art and not easily found either. The old Catholic Churches are disappearing... you could have a valuable piece of history there. Enjoy its beauty for now while you do some research before upcycling or rather recycling. (Sorry, art and craftsmanship.... there just is no UPcycling.) Might be worth something. 🤗
Hahahaha... I sure can agree with you on that one! Been retired for 7 years now with a ton of projects ready and waiting and many on the go. How the heck did I manage before retirement? Ya and I don't think being in my early 60's is very old either. But body says differently. 💃🏽😜😆
