Use revolve tool to make necessary form and then subtract result from vase.  
Here is my quick test:

Ich habe es mal probiert.

**I tried to create a guide with a possible solution:**

 ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/f/7/f7cdd9b09ca0ba324d43e55c336dfd94372db5f3.jpeg)

In the second step you can make a construction plane at the height you want. And then sketch on it. For example, as in the picture below.

 ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/5/d/5d28b26bc86626bcb598278c72ad69d999331836.jpeg)

Next step:

 ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/e/9/e9cc522ab8ef4edf1261de38db34c6714cd78091.jpeg)

Next Step:

 ![5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/8/8/88878e40528d25595be448e2e164fe4b04455c49.jpeg)  
Next Step:

 ![6](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/4/0/4076ff73d5bebfe31d49b92d240979d375b498d4.jpeg)

And then it should be finished, of course you can do even more who you want, for example edge processing etc.

Maybe someone has a better solution in the forum.

there is certainly also a more technical solution,

I hope I could help you further.

Especially with your post…  
You throw 3 images and give him no explanation or help.

@jean-philippe2 da hast du recht. bei nächsten mal denke ich daran etwas zu schreiben so etwas wie eine Anleitung, aber ich bin selber noch nicht Profi, darum sind meine Anleitungen nicht immer die besten. Und ich hatte einfach Spass mal etwas anderes zu lernen als nur Möbel zu planen und entwerfen . 😀

und Besten dank für die Rückmeldung  
PS: gute Tipps kann ich immer brauchen. Lieber @jean-philippe2 hast noch ne coole Webseite.

This is a simplified version but there seems to be a bit of a twist going on.

Another approach would be twisted Loft followed by Shell of the desired sides.

I don’t think this is the right place to post this kind of stuff.  
Thank you for taking this into account…

I posted “Happy Easter” because today is Easter.

Unfortunately, it didn’t suit someone.

As it is in life, you learn from mistakes, or sometimes not. 😀

Now I realise that technical content is what people are looking for.

My suggestion would be to sketch your circles spread them out according to the distance as required. Loft them turn off your sketches shell them. Then use your spline tool to draw the outline shapes meaning you add the curved ends and maybe use offset to separate the distance you require than project them onto the vase and you probably copy them and rotate around the center axis to to match the other points then extrude them subtracting the material of course leaving yourself enough room at the top and the bottom to match the original image that should give you a rough idea of what you’re doing if I’ve got this correct that would be my way of doing it hope this helps

My original version was a square that twists and looking at it again I think it’s a hexagon that twists to a circle.

Will need to get the top and the bottom to twist but that should be just refining the idea.

Ein kleiner Tipp dazu.
