Dear Lisa,
What you have indeed is Japanese vase made in Nagoya factory. In 1908 Nagoya Seito Sho Company was founded by Kotero Asukai, former employee of Noritake. Resemblance with Noritake porcelain is big. Your vase is partly handpainted and partly they used templates. Date of the vase is ca. 1920. Value is still low; there is simply not much demand for the work of the Nagoya factory. Estimation is based on a vase with no damage and with little wear.
