CHICAGO – Jessica Vincent estaba curioseando por los anaqueles de una tienda de objetos baratos de segunda mano en Virginia, cuando un florero le llamó la atención. Tenía forma de botella y cintas de colores, verde claro y púrpura amatista, que subían por la superficie de vidrio como pinceladas. Parecía una pieza vieja en medio del revoltijo de tazas, velas y otras baratijas. Mirando bien. Vincent divisó las palabras “Murano” e “Italia” en la base.“Lo compré porque pensé que quedaría hermoso en alguna parte de mi casa”, dijo Vincent, una entrenadora de caballos de 43 años, que pagó $3.99 por la pieza en la tienda de las afueras de Richmond. “De ninguna manera pensé que lo vendería”.

El comprador, un rico coleccionista europeo, pidió no revelar su nombre.Desde hace años, Vincent recorre los negocios de segunda mano y las ventas de...
