Thank you for your help.

: "Shop" for UK; "store" for US: neither is better. It could be a downmarket antique shop, but "junk shop" is probably closest.

: I can't speak for the UK, but for the US, I feel that only antique store is natural.

flea market
The best option here will depend, amongst other things, on what country the source text is from, and what was the nearest equivalent in the target environment (UK, US, other), at the time when this delightful vasija was found. All we have so far is that it's post 1940, but the names for these places shift quite quickly.
Note from asker:
| Thank you Robin, a very important observation, the client only said it was English, but didn´t specify if it was UK or US English, as it will probably either one or the other, they don´t tend to use Canadian, or other kinds of English. |

: Good point. In practice, she probably acquired it post c. 1960, and may well have used an Italian word, of which "chamarilería" is a translation. I can't find any evidence from any country that it can mean a flea market; it always seems to be a shop.
