Very good.
I did my transformations (on the original converted OBJ files) in 
Poseray, centering and then rotating the vase, and dropping it to y=0, 
/before/ exporting to POV-Ray.

In my studio set-up I used trace {} to put the vase on the 'pedestal'. 
The 'base' of the vase effectively is situated at y=0 in the geometry file.

//Bounding Box....... from x,y,z=(-1.8839052,0,-1.7086791)

//                       diagonal 6.90082777701024

And the same from the 'optimized' version (note that for some reason, 
the size is much larger. yesbird?):

Ok.
