Explanation
Over modifies the verb knock, telling how the vase should be knocked, which is adverbial function. Crucially, no noun follows over, so it cannot be a preposition, which by definition takes an object. It does not join anything as a conjunction would, nor describe a noun as an adjective would. The verb-modifying, object-less use makes it an adverb.
