Default Glueing a roof tile together

I have an old roof tile of fired red clay(?) converted into a candle
holder and a part has broken off. Does anyone have any ideas of the best
adhesive to glue it back together again? The broken part contains the
hook which holds the whole tile on the wall!
I was wondering about this 'No more nails' stuff from B&Q?

I think I'd go for something like quick-setting Araldite.
