Dipper (5)
I believe the answer is:
ladle
'dipper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "It's used to serve soup" , "Large deep spoon for serving soup" , "Long-handled spoon for moving liquids" , "Serving implement" , "Large long-handled spoon" .)
