Vase design (goldani) گلدانی

A vase design (goldani) uses vases of flowers as its main motif: one large vase at the foot of a directional field, or vases repeated across the field or set in a lattice. 'Vase carpet' means something else: a group of Safavid carpets, generally attributed to Kerman, named after the vases that appear in many, though not all, of them.
