The leaves on the bowl are degenerate surfaces. Two sides joint at zero degrees, and two join at 180. Both of those situations are not good for NURBS surfaces. I would recommend sweeping or revolving something and then projecting the final outline to get the shape you want.
Hello Simon, thanks for your advice. I did the mail bowl by revolving and Boolean subtraction, but the leaves going out i do not know how to make differently. I finally got to this stage, see the link, but I can not compose it in a single part. I am on a learning curve, but it is not easy to learn at my age :-)

You need to fix this "wrinkle" in your suface:
Hello Eric, this is a transitional area between concave and convex shape. Any idea how to fix it? You can see from my file how i build the surface. So, what is wrong in my approach that produce this wrinkle?
