like the last one you posted, although I would not put the extra curves in the conical shape...but that's a personal thing I guess.
I wanted to show you an alternative that is based on the same idea but with double walls and less deep (depth is always more difficult)

I actually thought of the straight side but thought it would look too much like a Dalek...
You also might split the difference...
between the easier to produce crown-like option and James more bomb-shaped vase by opting for NACA ducts (they put these in the body work on closed wheel racing cars usually for drawing air into radiators and brake disks with a minimum of disrupion in the airflow). NACA ducts would allow for a perfectly round rim at the top, some bomb-like tapering, and side ducts for inserting the flower stems into. NACA ducts are a very elegant, modern and interesting shape to my eye, also.
You can see the NACA ducts on the hood of this Ferrari...
The vase might look something more like this cave rendering...
I know we have been very close to this previously, but I would like to see actual NACA ducts at the top and a round rim with a modest taper to the upper part of the vase.
Post Script...
These NACA ducts ringing the top would give the vase a bit of a campanile effect on top rather than a crown or a bomb effect. But perhaps NACA ducts in ceramics are not feasible. If they were, however, I believe they would contribute to a superior look integrating much of what has been contributed in a memorable form with integrity and elegance. Who knows? Maybe Ferrari would like some in red with a dancing horse for their offices. We could call it the F40 vase. 🙂
no offense but we aren't all...
no offense but we aren't all on high speed connections, unless its a for real vase proposal could you leave a link to your image instead of displaying the whole thing?
I like Koens drawing on the right, its very adaptable to rods going down into the holes, which goes right back to the original idea I suppose.
I really like the vase on...
I really like the vase on the right too, though I'm not a huge fan of its conical shape. Since there's so much going on at the top, I think this part looks sort of compressed. Like a flower that has closed its leaves slightly. And the vase appears too heavy and massive at the bottom. It would keep up a more appropriate apperance if it was to straighten its back so to speak and gain a more slender look. Also, what happen to the stoneware bottom? I think the white and blank area from the center of the vase and down plays a very dominant role. A contrast or detail of some sort to counterbalance or interrupt this porcelain dessert would be great. Though it's nice to see the rings inside at the bottom 🙂 Such a nice detail.
