Purchased a lovely ceramic bowl in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. As it was too heavy to ship back to my home base, I have been carefully carrying it around in my suitcase. It has been well padded with clothes and wrapped in multiple layers of paper. So I went through 10 flights with no problems and then finally on the flight from Ayers Rock Resort to Syndey, the bowl bit the dust. Opened my suitcase in the hotel last night and it was toast. Maybe 20 pieces or more, certainly too much ever glue back together and make it look nice. Odd how 9 flights it was fine but they must have really stacked some heavy bags on top of it this last flight. Ah well.
