Note: Until the time of Walker (1791), vase was made to rhyme
with base, case, etc., and it is still commonly so
pronounced in the United States. Walker made it to
rhyme with phrase, maze, etc. Of modern English
practice, Mr. A. J. Ellis (1874) says: "Vase has four
pronunciations in English: v[add]z, which I most
commonly say, is going out of use, v[aum]z I hear most
frequently, v[=a]z very rarely, and v[=a]s I only know
from Cull's marking. On the analogy of case, however,
it should be the regular sound."
The Merriam-Webster's 10th Colletgiate Dictionary says:
"U. S. oftenest v[=a]s; Canada usu. and U. S. also
v[=a]z; Canada also & U. S. sometimes v[aum]z."
One wit has noted that "a v[aum]z is a v[=a]z that
costs more than $100.", suggesting that the former is
considered a higher-class pronunciation.
[1913 Webster PJC]

3. (Bot.) The calyx of a plant.
[1913 Webster]
