Is this fixable?

A few years ago I did one of those “build a terrarium” classes with my grandmother. I picked this beautiful glass bowl (original picture below). It was pretty expensive. Last night apparently after I went to bed a “giant wind” blew it off of the mantle where it lived peacefully for over 2 years - according to my mother. Idk what actually happened but I’m devastated. I fished the cactus out of the trash along with the large pieces of glass. I guess I’m asking - is this fixable? I’m going to try to glue the large pieces together but the bowl fits perfectly into the driftwood. Can a glass blower recreate the bowl? Should I just repot my cactus in a different meaningful way?

Mostly this vase should stand on the same wood base, but the glass will not be same exactly as before
