Your vase looks good but if the mouth were a little smaller I think it would be even better. Camera angle may be distorting what I see tho.

>Hi Gary
Overall you have a very nice shape going here. The top half is excellent. The bottom half could be improved by tapering down to a smaller bottom with a continuous curve. From how I see it in the picture, it looks like the curve flattens out somewhat towards the bottom. Even a very slight continuation of the curve will greatly improve the appeal of the piece.

Thanks for the suggestions!
