At first I thought the vase literally smashed....that would be news I suppose.

Ming vase smashes record The buyer respectfully requests that you not use "Ming vase" and "smash" in the same sentence. Thx.

Please DO NOT say “Ming Vase” and “smashed” in the same sentence or paragraph.
My heart is beating very rapidly.

This reminds me of an old cartoon.
A man is walking through a museum and sees a vase with a placard “MING”.
He reaches over and flips it with his finger and it rings.....”TANG”.

Perhaps I have Philistine blood in me, but there's no way I'd look at any ceramic vase and say "Holy Smoke! I'd pay 26 million dollars for that thing! I just HAVE to make it mine!", and I don't care if I had 100 billion dollars worth of Krugerrands sitting in a vault somewhere to the point I was so rich I could wipe my bottom with squares of toilet paper cut from the Bayeux Tapestry.
Anything I'd pay that kind of money for better look very much like a brand new fresh jet airliner decked out like it belonged to the Sultan of Brunei. A vase? Forget it. I don't care how rich I was.

Is it just me, or is that vase crooked?
