it should mean that it is the first vase made in a line of 247 vases. Having the first one is usually a good thing, there only being 247 is usually a good thing, but it would be better if it were from a reputable vase maker. If it is from a nobody just some art shop on the corner then it is still cool that you have #1 of 247 but it's not worth any more than you paid for it. There are also huge manufacturers of cheap crap that just print numbers like that on the bottom of stuff to make it seem cool that you got the first one off the line. If you got it from a Wal-Mart or the like then you can bet that's what the deal is. But if you got it by the means mentioned to begin then congrats, you got a decent piece of art work that you obviously liked since you bought it.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/Sm82i
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

This is usually a style/model number.
