I'm a "newbie" at LF, compared to you guys.
This is done with a Crown Graphic, a Dagor 168mm f6.8 (f16) and expired FP4+, developed in Barry's 2 bath (the metol based one)
Oh dear, my turn then.

Hi Buze,
Was the vase sitting on a lightbox? Personally I would prefer a mono background either complete white or black. I find the transition a bit distracting. However, complete white background would work better for your subject. Could you set aperture smaller than f16? The top appears a touch soft. Smaller aperture could have taken care of it.
The advantage of this type of photography is if it hasn't worked you could always do a re-shoot. Why not try putting a stem of flower eg tulip will work well, in the vase. Nonetheless a good shoot and would love to see your re-shoot if you decided to do one.
Regards
Chong
