A very tiny saucepan

This is a normal saucepan, sturdy and well-made. It just happens to be very, very small. The mark visible in the picture indicates a quarter cup. To illustrate its smallness, the picture was taken by other dishes belonging to George.

It was on sale at Winners for $2.99, and I wondered. What is it designed for? Who uses a saucepan that holds barely over a quarter of a cup? But small things are so cute. I couldn't resist buying it, just for fun.
