I was playing around with some friends 3.0 and somehow didn't get use to some of the settings so I thought maybe you can shed some light.
Anyway I think you're doing great with renderings. Keep posting!

Hi Pyroluna, That vase looks really nice!
could you post a wire?
Have you done the shape in just one step?

Hi I'm back Thanks for all the nice comments

So, mr D-Space.... you want to see a HDRI-lighted image with caustics??
Here it is:

Now as far as I know, Artlantis can't do either, so I rendered with Mental Ray for Maya. Helluvajob. 'scuse my french

So here's the wireframe...

In the middle, the final shape.
On the left, a section cut.
On the right: this is the shape I used to construct.

The four (or actually five, but I welded the bottom two) curves making up the nearest side of the cheesewedge were the starting point for an 'Extrude Edges by Rails' operation.
The result rotated+copied, circle drawn on top, push-pulled. Bottom part mirrored to the top.
Then copied, and scaled a bit in red&green, reversed faces. Then the outer shell extended downwards a bit further than the inner shell; the inner shell was push-pulled downwards just enough to use a maximum radius for 'round corners' to work without self-intersecting. The outer shell has a smaller radius at the bottom.
