Chinese Bronze Pot

Have a large Chinese pot that I believe is made of bronze. The metal is not magnetic. This has a tripod base with cat faces on the feet and dragon face handles. Measures 15" wide including the handles and is 10 1/2" tall including the lid. Marked on the bottom Made In China, with the D and A being in reverse order in the word made. Not brand new but not a true antique. Was wondering if anyone might have an idea of exactly what this would have been used for and when it might have been made.

 

Looking into it but it looks like a bronze urn or something like that. I am trying to find that exact one.
