I have knocked over a vase. It was cracked top to bottom and has now

dry fit nicely back together so I am going to attempt to glue them back
how they were.

Is superglue the way? Any tips? the white clay is 5mm wide and looks
quite porous. If I do the little piece first I will then have a broken
edge of about 750mm length to bond. Is it glue one side only and quickly
position? I am thinking rubber bands might hold it together. Is that
what professionals do? How do I clean off any smears or drips?

I've used superglue for things like this in the past. I always dampen
(lick with small bits) one surface, glue on other, fit together
quickly, have some bits of masking tape ready to hold in place, wipe
joint with damp cloth to clean excess glue before it dries. After it's
dried any remaining surface glue can be removed by careful use of a
sharp scalpel.
