Dear Adrian,

     Oh G-D!!  Cry    I'm so sorry. 
BUT... why weren't you looking at it at a table, with a strong table light set up, and a towel on the table surface to cushion any drop from a few inches up?!

   This sounds like my late mom's story about the NYC Society matron who got home after a long lunch 'with the girls', to celebrate her successful purchase of a Ming dynasty Xuande marked porcelain vase earlier that morning.
She asked the maid if the vase had been delivered.
"Yes, ma'am" was the reply, followed by, "but putting it on the sideboard, it dropped and smashed! I'm so sorry. But it wasn't 'Ming', Madam. When it hit the floor it went 'ping'."

Best,
Joey
