If you can put the pieces back on like a puzzle use this glue...

You will still need some filler type translucent pebbles in orange to fill gaps.
Then I would use a clear resin to coat the inside, heck the resin will make a new globe.
You need to make sure that the globe is well sealed or the resin will flow out everywhere.
Clear caulk would work.

If you think it still needs reinforcement put resin on the outside of globe right over the pebble
parts too.

I have never done this but that is what I would try.

Now if that's not a good idea for you then think about just using the good part, that is burry the
broken part in say a planter so you would have a half moon type light on the ground.
I do this outside with broken floats I tried to put holes in.
You could paint or spray the white globe part to hide the white too.

Maybe even put in on the bottom of a basket and make a whole new basket type light.
You still need to reinforce the part that is still on the globe.
Again resin on the outside on the pebble parts should work.

Or heck take the thing apart and make a new on, the hard part is finding those bigger chunk things.
Start looking for those small orange pebble things now.

Good luck!
