The walls of the lathe/sor/all objects are zero thickness.

To get a lathe or sor with thickness to its walls, you have to use CSG,
like so:

difference {
  object { MyVaseExterior }
  object { MyVaseInterior }
}

Make MyVaseInterior such that it has a gap between it and the
exterior version, but sticks out through the top.

Hope this helps,
John
