Other uses a copper birdbath? It may be 4 "deep ...
You may succulents in it. They require less water than most plants. Here's an example: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/look/ ... .
You can use it for a bird feeder.
You may also be able to use it as a water garden for plants that like the shallow water. Of course, you'd have the same problem with maintenance completed.
You can use it as a holder for a watching world.
You can give as a wedding gift or Christmas gift.
If you use it as a planter I recommend you drill holes in the bottom for drainage. I guess it's on a stand, so if you leave it on the stand a plant Nice leak of some kind would be nice. Fill it will compost, then plant drought tolerant something. You could have something greater in plants and some smaller average around the rim with a bit along the edge facing the side.
