Morphology

vase-shaped = vase-shape (transparent) = vase + shape + ed

The word is clearly derived from 'vase' and 'shape', with the suffix '-ed' indicating a characteristic.

Etymology

The word vase-shaped begins with vase, which comes from the Latin vas meaning 'container' and is like the English word 'vessel'. The -shaped part means 'in the shape of', so vase-shaped simply means having the shape of a vase.
