A rare vase by an Italian architect recently sold at auction for $107,100 — even though at its previous sale, it went for just $3.99. The vase by Carlo Scarpa was sold by Jessica Vincent, a thrifter who bought it at a Goodwill in Virginia.
To the untrained eye, the vase may seem like a normal glass piece with green and red streaks, but the Wright auction house, which handled the sale, says it is one of the rarest pieces they've offered in more than a decade — part of Scarpa's Pennellate series for Venini, produced in 1942.
The technique ("pennellate" means brushstroke) is achieved when the piece is being blown by adding in colored opaque glass. The pieces in this particular series were difficult to make, so the numbers are low.

A blistering heat wave that recently brought record-breaking temperatures to large sections of the southwestern United States, including several major cities, is forecast to continue this week as it tracks over much of the country on its way toward the East Coast. Meanwhile, meteorologists have warned that powerful storm weather could dump as much as a foot of rain, or more, on parts of Florida and potentially give rise to another round of tornado threats in central states. Metropolitan areas like Chicago may be affected by a possible twister.
After four days of voting, with more than 400 million people eligible across 27 countries, European voters have pulled the bloc's 720-seat parliament farther to the right than it has ever been. The European Parliament, for the next five years, will now have a record number of far-right legislators. Far-right parties made gains in Europe's top three economies — Germany, France and Italy — with gains by politicians who campaigned against immigration, against support for Ukraine and against climate policy.
