Multi purpose vintage Chinese dragon ladle could also be a small pot. It is decorated with a dragon and Chinese symbols on the inside of the pot with additional Chinese symbols covering the outside of the pot. The handle also has a unique design and seems to be loose at the middle joint (not sure if it is a flaw or meant to break down at that spot). This item is approximately 9 1/4 inches long and 4 5/8 inches wide. The pot is approximately 1 3/4 inches deep and 2 3/8 inches tall (3 pedestal feet are 7/16 inch tall). This item weighs 1.66 lbs. Handle is loose at joint (see above).
