My father served in the USMC during WWII in China. He brought this back along with coins, paper money, a sword and a cute hand made miniture Rickshaw. The vase is about 6.5 inches tall and about 3.5 round and appears to be made of brass with the muticolored enameling. It has 2 dragons facing each other. He passed on at age 49 and left me the items and I have displayed them in our China Closet ever since. Curious as to possible history and worth. I am not sure exactly where in China he was stationed at this time. It may have been near Peking. I am looking to see if I can find out.
