Some florists will buy back glass flower vases. You can always offer to give them to the florists if they won't buy them as a way to recycle. I reuse mine to give flowers as gifts to friends. Perhaps your local hospital gift shop will also take them.
Lisa...I keep mine for decorating church tables when I am in charge of a meal. You can use Elmer glue and food coloring...mix well (I use a plastic spoon) then paint the smooth ones with a sponge brush. They may appear streaked but will dry smooth.

Depending what they look like... I have glued them to candlesticks to make pedestal vases, You could paint them with glass paint to create a stained glass design.

These ideas are for jars, but they might work for vases, too: https://housefulofhandmade.com/diy-wall-vases-upcycled-jars/
