I'm pretty sure it's a bulb vase and late Georgian. I'll poke an expert...

Here's a better image if it helps.

I really think it looks like a bulb vase. Is the inner "shelf" part, the bit a bulb would sit on, all neat and round?
What you need to look for is; would it hold the bulb properly, without there being spaces around the bottom root bits?
And how many fingers can you comfortably fit into the hole?

It is a bulb vase and it's French but later than I thought (though I wasn't given a date), so the expert says.  http://www.kennemerend.nl/france1.html I don't think it's here though
