Look at this the way a game developer may look at it. Would you put something like this down there and then go and say "Oh, nah, that's just a replica of the Lordvessel." If that were the case, then they could have very well have just used a different texture, or a different model. There had to have been a lot of talking amongst the game's developers about it, if it were a shattered bowl, one of them would have said "Hey, don't you think players might get confused and think that's the Lordvessel?" But no one needed to say that, because it's so obvious that's exactly what it is. The Lordvessel. There were many other models they could have used, and many other broken remains they could have used, but they used the Lordvessel, and placed a piece big enough that it could be identified as the Lordvessel, because that's exactly what they wanted, they want the player to know what it is, it being the Lordvessel.
