It is a good question. Eventually, if we're going to be put back together again, we need that glue. BUT a broken plate glued back together still won't look the same as before. Whether it can still be used depends on a lot of things, including the quality of the glue.
What's that Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, and then considering the mended piece more beautiful than it was before it was broken? Looking it up....
Ah. Kintsugi.
Here it is.
