The general vase shape is a surface of revolution.
I would try subtracting the "pleats" negatives.
Can you form ONE of the long "pleats," the short pleat at the top, and the tiny pleat at the very top, to use as a cutting object?
Curve the one pleat trio slightly from top to bottom to match the curvature of the vase from top to bottom, maybe with flow.
Circular array the pleat cutting, and trim or Boolean difference, to remove part of the smooth vase.
Do you have a .3dm of one pleat trio?
