Hi Kieran,

I think that you could get a sharp image of the base of the vase by using the "macro" (flower icon) function on your camera - which is available on almost all digital cameras these days.

Or highest quality setting and get a bit further back.

It looks like it was blown in a mould but to blurry for certainty and the snipping of the rim suggest relatively recent as does the colouring. Probably a studio piece or one of the art glass factories.
