Does Anyone know what this is?

This urn is 12 1/2 inches tall and very heavy. It has a full bodied dragon entwined around it. It might be bronze and made in the 1800s, but I don't know for sure. Has anyone seen anything like this before? If so, do you know what it is? There is some sort of red mark on the bottom, but I can't make it out. (See last photo)
