Color of background not important if the enamels are pure in hue (not muddy), well applied within the cloisons, meticulously polished to bring out the jewel-like colors of the enamel.

Can see from your photo that surface is rough, decoration not high quality. Probably made 1930s or later.

Do not use for wine, both the base brass and enamel probably have lead.

For animal, do web search for kylin and kilin. Can not see it in your photos.

Good luck,
Cal
