Small violet vase or single-flower vase, made of hallmarked 916 silver by the Barcelona workshop Masriera y Carreras, active in the mid-20th century. Bell-shaped and elegantly designed, it stands out for its tall, slender neck that opens into a wavy mouth with delicate edging.
These types of vases were popular as decorative elements on dressing tables or in display cabinets, designed to hold a single flower—a small rose or jasmine, or violets. Their understated, elongated aesthetic evokes the refined taste of the 1940s and 50s, making them ideal for minimalist decor or vintage settings.
Marked on the base with the "Masriera y Carreras" seal and the purity number 916, corresponding to a high quality silver alloy used in Spanish artistic silversmithing of the period.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
