Something that Ivy said brought this to mind. What do museum curators do with
artifacts that break in either transit, or during routine cleaning? Are the
pieces simply thrown away, or are they collected somewhere?

The reason I ask is that at the Presidio of San Diego excavations, we are
putting together a series of type collections of historic ceramics. We would
be interested in taking anyone's old, busted, potsherds, and giving them a
good home.
