Do not use superglue, its useless at that sort of thing. I think the repair
products to some extent work, as do epoxy products, but won't it look a
little erm bodged?

The epoxy will be out of sight, underneath.
It's a 1930s Twyfords Ceramant basin


"Ceramant" and "Vitromant" are early types of china not specific
styles."

Yes, that's correct. If you're interested, there's a very detailed
history here
https://www.twyfordbathrooms.com/-/m...9AAEE379FBC82F



"CERAMANT from 1938
Vitreous China. Twice fired. First introduced around 1939 but
production was halted during the Second World War. It was
reintroduced in 1950/51. The new 1957 Alsager Works was
dedicated to the production of Ceramant. A white vitreous (non
porous) clay body of very fine texture with a glazed white or
coloured surface. The clay is vitrified in the firing process so
that to all intents and purposes it is non porous and will not
absorb moisture. It is denser and stronger than earthenware of
the same thickness but dearer. A strong superb quality ware that
will not craze, stain or deteriorate in any way. It will satisfy
the most exacting demands of quality. The most suitable ware for
many fixtures in semi public buildings like hotels, offices,
schools, hospitals etc."

Wonder where yours came from?
