As rickharris and canucksgirl said regarding a valuable piece.
Home supply stores (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) usually carry an epoxy "paint" for re-coating sinks, tubs, and other home ceramics. It's very effective, though it's only available in white (and probably not quite the shade of white of your bowl/tub/ sink...) It's not for repair, it's for covering up after the repair... ;-)
I agree with rickharris, if the item is valuable. I have done similar repairs to non-valuables by simply filling in the crack with crazy glue. The stuff has the tendency to suck into the crack and make it a little stronger.
If its in fact in pieces, versus a crack, you'll want to use the epoxy. Just go with one that does not set up quickly, otherwise it may dry before you have it properly in place.

If it may be valuable get it done professionally or you might effect the value adversely.
If it's just sentimental or ordinary then use epoxy glue.,
