yes they should fix it (for free) but tbh I'd have just fixed it myself already, mainly as I have various different glues already. Superglue would not be my go-to here, it's too thin. That Shoo-Goo stuff for shoe repair would be ideal I think. Brown Gorilla Glue if it won't be visible once the repair is made. Even a glue-gun would probably be ok for this!
LocTite do make a specific superglue for glass but it's probably not something most people would have already https://www.loctite-consumer.co.uk/products/central-pdp.html/loctite-superglue-glass/SAP_0201DFLSG1A4.html
In your professional opinion, would you consider it to have been sound advice?
If there is virtually no gap between the two parts, and provided that future failure will not make it dangerous (like a handle falling off) then it seems quite reasonable to me. Its probably what the do at the factory. If they are not a tight fit, they are subject to big thermal shock etc there may be other glues that are better.
The old adhesive is still stuck fast to the pewter. If I were to DIY a repair I'd likely be gluing glass to glue rather than to metal.
I have Gorilla Glue in the cupboard, it would've been my first choice but it sets kinda brown. The extant glue is clear.
I'd throw it in the bin . Sounds like a load of nonsense anyway. Sort of thing they foist on you at a work 25yr service ceremony.
It's not 1845 anymore , pewter tankards are the reserve of morris men and weirdos in the pub who smell.
Hey, I'm a smelly weirdo!
It's not a tankard, it's a glass and was a present from my partner. Even if I didn't want it - and I do, I use it daily, I'm the sort of person who has MY mug and MY glass rather than a cupboard full of the things - it would not be wise politically for me to dispose of it.

My 19 year old son has one, as do a few of his friends.
They are of course the group who do Dungeons and Dragons, like Dire Straights and have a penchant for iffy facial hair growth.
