Poison vials are skill 148, lined are 168 and sealed are 188.
Casserole dishes are skill 199.
Since your skill appears to be less than 148 (you said were doing 'poison vials'), you will use the success formula most of the time on poison vials since you will succede in the creation of the item most of the time.
When you attempt the casserole dish, you will almost always fail to create the item, which means your skillup results will follow the failed formula being discussed fairly closely.
Thus, you should be seeing approximately 2 times the skillups/stack doing the poison vials as compared to doing the casserole dishes. If you actually saw 4 times (which I doubt), that is probably just an anomaly in the RNG.
There is a completely separate formula that determines the chance of success/failure on creation of an object. That is what you are thinking affects the skillups, and while it does, it doesn't affect the formulas being discussed here.
This is exactly why you should only do the items that are closest to your current skill level whenever possible.
