Welcome soquilichi!  My first uneducated guess would be a planter.  ;)  I'll bet that unreadable label was the maker/distributor. Will
hunt around to see what I might dig up, but likely others will chime in as their sun rises.........many here with real knowledge.
Glad you joined us

Thanks so much! Your help is appreciated, my father said it was to put flowers in, so that was close! Many strange items to be found in Aussie op shops!
