Please help me ID metal pot-part of old liquor still?

I purchased a neat metal footed pot at an antique/flea market.
I plan on using it as a planter in my garden.

It has an unusual 3/4 inch hole that is part of its fabrication-not drilled later.

It has three feet that are welded onto the pot.The bottom of the feet have rusted through in areas.

The pot is 14 inches in diameter and 9 inches high.

The seller stated it was part of an old liquor still.
I doubt it as it is not copper.

It is rusted and at one point was painted silver.

Ignore any white as I have sprayed a white rubber coating on the inside to delay rust as it will be kept outside.

The hole is what has me stumped.I have done image searches and can not find anything similar.

Any ideas welcomed. Thanks in advance!
