    This vase stands 14 1/2" tall and measures 7 1/2" across the top. Base measures 5 1/4" across. This was once a lamp. How old is this vase?

    Given how neat and smooth the hole is, I think this was never a vase and was always meant as a lamp base.

    I agree, made as a lamp base, and not very old.

    I'm revising my call @kraftblue - think it may be late Ching, circa 1910-ish
