This antique European - style metal tub is very versatile. You can use it as a planter for your favorite flowers or plants. Just fill it with soil and place your plants inside. If you want to use it as a decorative piece, put some decorative items like candles or seashells in it. When using it as a planter, make sure to water your plants regularly, and the drainage holes on the bottom will prevent waterlogging. To maintain this tub, clean it with a mild soap and water solution occasionally. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the metal surface. Also, if you keep it outdoors, protect it from extreme weather conditions to extend its lifespan.
