This vase was created by Antoni Serra I Fiter in 1904. Serra was one of the top representatives of Modernisme Catalan art during this time. This piece was included as a decorative element in the interior of the Casa Lleo Morera, which was created by another Modernisme artist. The vase is finely crafted with white porcelain and incorporates Japanese style as well. This fusion of different artistic styles is a characteristic of Modernisme art and demonstrates how this artistic movement aimed to break the mold by incorporating multiple artistic styles into one art piece.
