Thanks, bettydee! It is one of a pair of planters I bought from an antiques dealer in upstate New York (near Corning). They are 7' tall, cast iron and the two parts (pedestal and urn) together weigh about 1,200 pounds. I had concrete foundations with brick caps built to hold them and it took a crew with a BobCat to mount them on the base, so I figure they're here to STAY (in previous seasons I've grown brugmansias in smaller urns and pots on the patio, but every year a strong wind will blow them over).
