Vintage Iron Pig Trough

A vintage cast iron round planter, originally a feeding trough for pigs, with original wrought iron partitions. This is the larger version of this type of feeding trough, often called a Mexican Hat, and now has two drainage holes through the base making it suitable for planting.

There is one planter available which is the one with eight partitions in our photograph (the one with ten partitions is sold).  

19th century.
