What do vessels on a vase look like?

That depends on what you mean by "vessel". Vessels on a vase could simply look like pictures of boats as decoration on a vase. Otherwise the meaning of vessel and vase is somewhat interchageable, vessel can mean bowl or tube so the term vessel is often used to describe a vase that is more pot-like in shape, or has a pot-like segment with a fluted top while "vase" in its specific sense is used to describe the very narrow tube-like structure people use to hold single flowers. As vessel also means tube-like structure (as in "blood vessel") it's possible that a vessel on a vase could be a a small tube coming from a larger vase designed to hold and pour liquid.
