Here are some pictures of it

For now this is not what you asked for. Here is a link on how to maintain a fountain: Fountain and Lawn Ornament Maintenance and Repair

You can glue concrete together with a special Epoxy Cement that's about $20 per quart. I'll have to look that up on the can I have.

Concrete can be matched, such as with products from this vendor: Concrete Mender Color Matching

I am sure that you could drill holes and make your own mini-rebar so to speak. Create a form with a release agent and even sand the final finish.

There isn't a fundamental reason except for matching the thermal expansion to possibly use other materials for the bulk repair and finish with the patching system. Some other suggestions are here: QUIKRETE® - Alphabetical List of Products Look at the links at the bottom because it offers a method of making a form.

Totally beyond my expertise, but that wouldn't stop me.

Here is a suggested product for doing edge repair without color matching: http://www.quikrete.com/ProductLines...tingCement.asp

I think it would have to start with a thourough cleaning/sandblasting, patching, curing, etching and a final sealing.

Fixable, yes. Color matching would be really tough.

Follow KISS expert advice and you can repair broken parts on concrete with latex or epoxy cement . The broken part should be thoroughly cleaned and moistened before the mixture is applied.
After the corner has been thoroughly brushed and washed, build up the latex or epoxy cement mix 1/4" at a time. If the area to be repaired is quite large, you may need to build a small form or drill holes and make your own mini-rebar to hold the parts while it is setting up and curing . Good luck, Tom
