Need advice, repairing super glued ceramics

Hello! Looking for some advice here. My housemate bumped this stack of dishes off of a shelf in our kitchen and they shattered on the countertop. I bought these in Japan with my spouse on our honeymoon and they are sentimental. My housemate felt really bad and super glued them back together before I got home. I would love to figure out a way to dissolve the super glue and do a traditional repair on these bowls using urushi laquer and gold or brass powder. I am very meticulous and am generally good at fine detail projects, so if possible would like a way to make these more beautiful so my spouse and I can keep enjoying them. Thanks!
