I used a modified version of this construction in my poem "The Lacanian Flower" [link], where it is featured as "unenvased," with a meaning opposite to this one (the final syllable is also shortened from -èd to -ed.) It's a poetic construction, and is only spelled "envasèd" to aid in the recognition of the root word "vase" in order that the penultimate syllable be properly pronounced (and thus be recognizable in speech.)
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
