vase? hollow form? vessel?

You call it a vase, hollow form, or vessel. That seems to be the biggest defining factor.

Vase, anything you call a vase.
Hollow form, any form that is hollow
Vessel, what you burst in your head trying to figure out how to define vase or hollow form. :cool2:

There are actually some more detailed definitions out there but folks generally just ignore them and call a piece what they feel is the best description. I tend to like vase myself. I save hollow form for weird stuff and never use vessel.

Vase - anything you can stick something in and it will sort of stand up.
Hollow form - anything you hollowed out where you can't see what you're
doing. (Well lasers, etc. have made this a lot easier, but I won't
tell if you don't.
Vessel - anything that will hold anything else, including air. Leaks don't
matter.

Customer: What's the difference between a vase and a hollow form?

Gallery Assistant: (thinks for a minute) About fifty quid, I think.

(fifty quid = ninety bucks, at current exchange rates)

I'm sure I read this in something by Richard Raffan.
