The great-grandma's vase disaster of last Tuesday
I was dusting my great-grandmother's 1920s carnival glass vase and my cat, Mango, decided it was a perfect time to practice parkour. It's in about 12 pieces now. Has anyone successfully glued something this delicate back together?

Wait, you're saying you actually like the idea of the cracks staying visible? That's wild because I used to think you had to hide every single flaw in something broken. But honestly, after my own cat knocked over a vintage bowl last year, I tried to glue it perfect and it just looked fake and sad. Now I keep it on a shelf with all the cracks showing and it actually tells a better story than if it was hidden. Plus Mango probably learned nothing from this but at least you got a cool new conversation piece.

Maybe try a museum-grade adhesive, but the cracks will always show and honestly that's part of its new story now.
