<p>[QUOTE="Jaime Medina, post: 9887490, member: 88190"]Thank you for your comments. I am posting a couple of more pics hoping it will help. It shows the top and bottom parts and how they were supposed to be threated together. Threats are long worn out and the top basically pops into the bottom. It also better shows the spoon. As for the materials I am also not sure. Could the top be green jade? The bottom I am not sure either. The bottom part is definitively a container and the top a hallowed cover to be threated into the bottom. The spoon slips through a hole on the top and is long enough to reach to the bottom of the top piece and not to the bottom container. So, either the material inside had to overflow inside the top, so it can be touched by the spoon, or you had to unthread the top to reach inside the bottom. The bottom part is about 1-3/4" the top about the same. Overall, to the very top of the spoon, when all together about 4". Please let me know if additional pictures will help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
