I'm not saying it's impossible, but you'd need to sand it off, flame polish, then reanneal. Having someone do this would likely be similar in cost to a nice China bong without a decal
Edit: looked up the company, def a bake on, no self respecting, American, glass artists paint on their pieces. You just don't do that shit in the pipe world, use coloured glass
Genuine maybe dumb question, but why don't you do that in the pipe world? I have a basic non labeled glass bong I was thinking about painting on and putting sealer and I figured as long as it's not being breathed in or where you're putting the flame (by the bowl not the bong) it should be safe, no?
You just don't, most glass artists aren't huge fans of the resin customised China glass that people are slinging now either.
The huge issue with painted glass is that most painted pieces are clear China glass trying to look like a headier colour, they're painted on the inside with a paint that is far from permanent and probably not good for you.
Paint just doesn't have a good rep in glass, why paint if you could use a bake on (like here), a ti pen, some scratch n' fume work, or just lay a stinger. Paint is prone to scratching and will make any future repairs on the glass a pita
As for personal use, you're probably fine, just don't use any super sketchy paints/sealers and you'll probably have to be more careful when cleaning. The issue isn't the pieces being painted themselves, just that painting is a practice usually seen on terrible quality work made by people who don't give the slightest of fucks about your health
Edit: Here's a report of those painted pieces of garbage

Do you mean that in a "if this product fails to remove it, it will now be even more permanently adhered" sense, or do you mean it more in the "if this product fails to take it off, it ain't coming off" sense?
The second option, it’s not going to make it any more permanent. If that stuff doesn’t work, the last resort will be to grind it off. Also it can be tough to find locally, Amazon may be the best option.
i love spaceglass, got to visit their studio in 2019. to remove, soak in CLR, and then toothbrush or any glass safe scrub jawn should sort u out after a bit of scrubbin!
Vinegar on a paper towel. Drape it over the emblem and keep it wet with vinegar. It’ll wipe off after an hour or two. It’ll still be visible as the glass will be etched where the label was.
Edit: downvoted. I say the glass is etched regardless of how you remove the emblem. The bake on process alters the glass below, so even if you get a solvent to remove it, there will be a ghost image. Vinegar will remove bake on glass color and won’t leave your house smelling like acetone.
Zoak it in Zepps for a week before using acetone or alcohol. Should help to get rid of a lot of that label or at least thin it out before anything else
Try rubbing it with some acetone.
Acetone and a Razorblade. Scrape then wipe, rinse, lather and repeat.
This is the way

Either acetone or some nail polish remover
The two are one in the same
Not always. Non-acetone polish remover is very common. If you want acetone, buy acetone.
Word
There are plenty of nail polish removers that do not contain acetone.
Indeed
If none of these options work: permatex paint stripper in an aerosol can. Wear gloves, and wash it well after.
I work for Permatex, can confirm this is the best option
This isn't paint though. It's a fired on ceramic decal. Can you still confirm it's the best option for that?
If that stuff doesn’t take it off, it will be there forever.

Paint stopper and a razor blade maybe ?
Stripper ***
Paint thinner/ naptha

How about just some sandpaper to rub it off?
Idk man I like the suspicious lime wedge
Why op not reply?
i love that design ngl
I typically just use a knife and scrape it won't scratch the glass takes time but good results without chemicals
Acetone or paint thinner
Put a sticker over it
I'd get a nice hammer it'll take the "paint" right off the glass
why
Because this is the dumbest thing on the Internet today that's not paint.
