3C's & a D?

I was at an outdoor antique show awhile back and purchased a vase with a marble stuck in the stem. I know this isn't a car question, however there are alot of experienced people here who may have dealt with this in the past or have ideas I don't. It's a hand blown vase about one quarter inch thick throughout, ten inches tall, with a marble stuck in the stem. I tried vacuuming it, turning it with a sharpened bamboo skewer, blowing it with compressed air directed towards on side, I'm now slowly filling it with water, the ounce that's in it took about fifteen minutes to get in there, burping it in by slapping the bottom. I'm hoping once I get enough water in there the weight (while being slapped) will free it. Otherwise I'm thinking I'll fill it as much as possible and freezing it while monitoring it closely of course. The easy way out would be to diamond drill a hole in the bottom and push it out with a rod, but I feel that would be cheating. Any ideas are appreciated - Thanks in advance. Included is a pic of another item purchased for one dollar as was the vase, not sure what it's off of, I'm guessing an old transistor radio, given the crystal motif at the bottom and the two lightning strikes beside the S. Anyone have any ideas?
