To repair the broken wings (clean break, will fit back together almost seamlessly) of a friend's porcelain angel, that lives outside. Y'all are the best!
I spend most days researching going to the ends of the Internet and am being, frankly lazy today. Yeah, mow the half acre, get groceries, repot flowers,play with big dog. Sorry. I ramble. My sincere thanks for your time and trouble.

If it lives outside, you will need a waterproof glue like aquarium seal, Goop's Plumbers glue or lock-tight. My turtle suffered a similar fate when someone knocked off his tail and back leg. At first I tried E600, but after it got hit with the automatic sprinklers the tail fell off again. Then I used Dap 100% Acquarium seal and 2 years later, he is still in tact. Plumber's goop is also water tight. Both dry clear and simply wipe away the excess at the seams. Home improvement stores like the Depot and Lowes carry all of these products down the adhesives aisle.

you can use a superglue ( crazy glue) on the joints. It is the fasteset and easiest way to do so. When using crazy glue or similar product you MUST moisten the jointing parts prior to applying the glue. Then work fast. All superglues work only when moisture is present. If you do not apply moisture to the 2 surfaces they will not join, regardless of what they are made of. If you want to try a test, add a drop of water to a new bottle of super glue and it will go hard instantly. Good luck with your repair.

Gorilla Glue is solid. yet there are glues that are made for each thing. Hit a Lowes or abode Depot. you will could get a distinctive glue for the porcelain than you will possibly for the plastics, etc.

Most definitely if it's fine, white porcelain, use Superglue, and make sure that when you glue it, use the LIQUID superglue, not the gelled type, to ensure a very tight fit, and make sure you clean off the outside of the joint.

The strongest glue that i have come across for porcelain is a glue called E6000. You can find it in your local craft or hardware store, it is a pretty popular brand.

super glue does work but the best is too make your own SLIP and smooth it on both pieces wherre cracked and let dry on its own in the baking sun . decide whether it is earthenware (RED CLAY) or kaolin (WHITE CLAY) and go to a craft store or pottery barn and they will have clay slip or they type clay you will need and add water to it enough to moisten than apply and let bake dry in sun.
