Lakeside Pottery (a repair company) does not use super glues for ceramic repair and restoration – super glues are just not strong and durable enough.In most of their ceramic restoration, they invest significant effort in hiding the repair and therefore have to make sure the mending longevity is the best possible.They use high-end non-yellowing 5 minute clear epoxies (Fast Cure PC-Clear Epoxy or the slower-setting Araldite Rapid or UHU) in most ceramic repair applications. Super glues are probably a good choice for items that are not handled often without long life expectations.Here's their tutorial for a good fix: http://www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/How-to-fix-broken-pottery-china-ceramic-lesson-1.htm -

Super glue isn't good with shiny really smooth things as they will not adhere properly. The same goes with underneath the surface, it can be really porous and glue may not be enough as it may just absorb the glue and not stay on the two surfaces to adhere. -

I use Locktite liquid super glue for non porous application and Locktite gel super glue for porous applications. Repaired many glass, ceramic, and porcelain items. -

Gorilla super glue is one of the best that I have used. It has a nice applicator tip that controls the flow and seals nicely ensuring multiple uses -not drying out like the metal tubes. -

Since porcelain is porous, you need something that will adhere good on a porous surface. Loctite makes a product that gets good reviews on this type of surface. You can buy it online on Amazon or at Walmart, lots of places.
