$107,100 for an old vase. Wow. Below is a picture of a vase I bought at a thrift shop. Now I’m thinking I might be rich too!

It's ugly ... I would not have bought it.
Would have been my loss ...

About your vase...I learned...If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all.

I thrift shop all the time. I used to sell books on Amazon dot com as a sideline. I’ve found quite a number of valuable books through the years that I later sold.
Once I found a book with a $100 bill in it. That was a nice surprise.
At a Garage Sale I found some First Edition novels from the 1930’s. Those each brought $50 and up.
And that is why I keep looking! :)

The only thing with ‘faces’ in my house are deer and bear head mounts...and those ALWAYS end up costing more than they’re eventually worth! ;)

That’s the way I feel about most art that sells for a lot. Ugly. I love paintings by the Dutch masters, etc., but most modern art is pointless and ugly.
It’s so bad I often wonder if the whole thing is a practical joke, and that the art experts are conducting a social experiment to see how many people they can fool.

Murano glass is gorgeous. We visited the Murano Glass Factory in Venice about 20 years ago.

They were shutting a lot of these factories after Russia invaded Ukraine, and the price of natural gas went way up. They have to keep the furnaces burning 24/7.

One of the line items in the plans for communist takeover was for art, especially public art, to be ugly and meaningless. Like most of the othe line items on that list, that one can safely be checked off as successfully implemented.

I keep getting offers re Murano, and I keep thinking, zero resale value. Am I wrong?
