What glue to fix this vase?

I broke a vase and need to fix it. It wasn't mine! I have told the owner, so there is full disclosure! I believe it to be fired clay, and the break edge is pretty clean. Would you use a thick CA and accelerator? HELP!!!

Don't forget the stuff that releases your finger after you glue it to the side of the vase!!

I have used a moderate viscosity CA and an accelerator on the other side to reglue  things like this but you better be REALLY good at your aim as you only get one chance to set in place.

I would use medium CA and no accelerator. Using accelerator means you get one shot at getting it spot on. Without accelerator, you get a bit of working time - not much - and it still sets quickly.
