Based on the way it's put together, this vase was made into a lamp, as it's not drilled for the cord through the base. This vasewas probably designed by Carlo Scarpa who worked  for  Paolo Venini (1895-1959). It's called "bollicine" and very collectible. I strongly suggest you have this one physically appraised, vases like often sell for over $3500.00 at auction.
