My friends on Facebook have given me information on how to fix my broken Bergs Potter Copenhagen pot. One person has given me specific materials and links to YouTube tutorials, so this project will be slated for the future. Here is some basic info, so I don't loose it.
"Do a dry assembly first, using masking tape. Then assembly with a slow cure time epoxy, not the 5 minute stuff. I'm using Araldite slow cure. This allows proper fitting. Finally fill the cracks and missing pieces with Milliput. There is a terracotta version."
Excuse the specs of soil. The pot is mostly clean, except for potting soil on the inside
The pieces placed on a lid for safe keeping. It needs to dry out completely so I can brush off the soil carefully, preserving the broken edges. Washing it would damage the fit of the edges.
Hubby had his orientation yesterday and he works tonight, 6 pm to 6 am. Training for this job takes about 6 months. Yes, it's that complicated.

I'm glad you found a possible remedy for that pot! I know it was a favorite. I'm sorry that your man is on the night shift, but maybe that will change as he gains seniority there. Crossing my fingers that all goes well :-)
He prefers nights plus that shift pays more.
