At least, I take it to be marble. It's quite a nice little item -- about four inches in diameter by about four inches tall.
My wife tells me that the lid just spontaneously split in two; it wasn't dropped. Internal stress resolving itself, possibly.
Anyway, a fix was in order. The break was quite clean, so the two pieces of the lid fit back together nicely. A bead of gelled CA adhesive served to adhere the two pieces back together. At the lid's underside, I ran a bead of runny CA adhesive along the seam to further reinforce the repair. And that did it. Here's the vessel with its lid back together and in place.
The repair's appearance is not seamless; one will always be to see where the lid broke in two. I see no solution to that. At least, the vessel is fully serviceable again.
