Problem capping holes on a Vase surface

Hi,this is a lofted vase with an internal offset of which I need a surface on both the top and bottom to 3d print it as a hollow vase. Have tried boolean, mesh, cap holes, boundary surfaces. Nothing seems to work. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank You.

it’s a structural problem. you tried to loft the curves from the same surface

I see two problems:

  1. The outer wavy surface does not have a flat bottom. This might be constructed differently to avoid that or the bottom can be cut with a plane.

  2. The inner surface extends below the outer surface, leaving no room for a bottom.

Yes I also need the bottom surface to be flat… How do I do that?

This is a hack. I cut off the bottoms of inner and outer surfaces at different heights chosen with the two sliders. The final shape doesn’t touch the ground. Ideally, you would create the surfaces differently.
