The BBC “repair shop” show recently (last year?) had an episode repairing a shattered vase with some specialist glass repair glue, so you can probably find some for this.
If you like this and want a serving of 'the feels', check out 'Repair Shop' - it's from the BBC and you can't stream whole episodes, but check them out here https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRepairShop
The BBC has a show called The Repair Shop, where people submit their old wares and heirlooms to be restored by specialist artisans. In most episodes there are paintings involved, and the first thing the specialist restorer does is to strip away layers of old varnish. The results are typically spectacular: colours become vibrant again, right off the bat, completely changing the mood of the composition.
I’m sure there is a Louvre team dedicated to maintaining Mona Lisa so this will sound like an idiot request, but: maybe it’s time to do something like that for the old girl…?
