Hi everyone,

If this ceramic is valuable to you or your collection, I would suggest
contacting a professional conservator in your area who could choose the
correct adhesive and address the condition problems you have described. I
am not sure what country you are located in, but if you need help finding a
suitable person, let me know.

Best wishes,
Claudia
