A bit late reply to the thread.
Unfortunately I think your vase is more likely modern. The decoration seems rather "mechanical". Like it's applied withe the use of a stencil, or made with transfer decoration. Decoration also looks somewhat similar to this modern vase:

If it's earlier 20th century it might be valuable. Shape is similar to a vase dated to the 20th century at Bruun Rasmussen, estimated at DKK 25,000-30,000 / € 3,350-4,000 (lot 199):

That one however might actually be an unidentified mark and period example. Comparable vase has been sold as Qianlong period vases at various auctions, for example this one at Sotheby's:

(But that's just me... I see unidentified mark and period pieces all over - it's almost patological.)
But your name sound quite Danish, so I'd suggest you bring it there or send them pictures, if this is your location.
