And it's a beautiful house decoration. I wonder if there could be other applications, like growing veggies away from environmental pollution.

My aunt had one in the early 70's. It was larger than a 5 gallon bucket. Went back years later (over 20 years) and it had sure filled in. I hope terrariums come back. It had a large stand, and you could put it anywhere you wanted since you could see the plants through the glass from any angle. I think it was kind of a tall but rounded at the bottom shape. Very cool, op. Thanks for posting and bringing back some treasured memories.
