how I learned it was: you say "vase" ('a' like in "face" ) when referring to something that hold flowers, and "vase" ('a' like in "pause") for something that it is for more decorative purposes (like an art piece).

My sister learned something similar in art school - the second way to say it sounds fancier or more expensive. So if you want people to pay more for the thing you make, you pronounce vase to rhyme with pause.

I am English but actually divided on one or two, but I say vase and aluminium like Tom. However, I get tied up with pants because it is derived from the term pantaloons which were an external lower garment historically primarily. I guess the garment evolved differently into different pieces in different places however... Also this is me being conflicted because of the historical roots, most fellow brits just think of undergarments at the mention of pants.

Generally these are pretty accurate. But I think a good point is that both the UK and US have different "dialects" or accents where each area may pronounce certain things differently.
