Then when I;ve got all the scale out, I polish plain (not coated - the alcohol takes the coating off  :cry:   which it also does to pictures on old tins.  Spoilt my best tin like that  :oops:  :cry:  :oops: ) glass with Isopropyl Alcohol - available from the chemist.  Gives a lovely sparkle.

I have a nice shiny vase now....and am even pondering cleaning the bathroom now...

Great stuff - so glad I asked the question..

For really stubborn deposits a handful of brown rice and a little water swished around in the vase. The husk of the rice is a mild abrasive, but not hard enough to scratch the glass and there is no risk of chemical attack from limescale remover.
If your hands are wet be careful not to drop the vase as you agitate it and don't do it in the sink as you are bound to hit the tap. Experience you see !
I understand broken walnut shells are used in the optical industry to polish glass, but I haven't tried. And also I think in lapidary, but that is not relevant I suppose because gemstones tend to be much harder than glass.
