Crystal Repair broken glass figurine

Broken in three pieces and a failed attemp to glue together with silicone is how it came to me. Crystal repair is a lot harder after you get sililone adhesive all over the pieces and sililone adhesive  is the worst to get off. There are no solvents to remove  it .  All you can do is scrap. The antique glass “China Man” is not a valuable glass figurine but holds a memory.
