  • Socle - The short plinth, usually cylindrical, that serves as a pedestal for a sculpture or vase
  • Baluster (glass) - An architectural term for a column in a balustrade or staircase.

    When used to describe glass, it can either refer to the shape of the stem of a wine glass, being slender above and pear shaped below, or the shape of the whole vessel, usually a vase. In fact the baluster shape is often described as being vase-like.

    The description of a vase as being of baluster shape covers a wide variety of shapes that often bear no resemblance to the original architectural form.
