The base of the vase has definately been drilled as the cord goes up through the centre, the vase has been glued to the wood stand and to the metal fitting at the top so it is impossible to remove the fitting to examine the base, there is a heavy glue residue around the top edge but it doesnt appear to be restoration, there are no visible cracks to the body but obviously the top rim and base cannot be inspected.
