How much gorilla glue you used to fix it.

What's broken is broken. Either put it pn on the shelf woth fake flowers in it or throw it away.

And that's all I gotta say about that.

[font color="navy"]Most people would like damages to their broken items to be concealed and hidden by repair making the object look like new. But the Japanese art of Kintsugi follows a different philosophy. Rather than disguising the breakage, kintsugi restores the broken item incorporating the damage into the aesthetic of the restored item, making it part of the object’s history.
