Apply pressure across the glass (parallel with it), into the edge of the paint, so you're cutting or peeling the paint rather than pressing the blade into the glass. I was envisioning a single edge razor blade that would be laid flat on the glass in the tall direction. But on something round like a glass, that might be easier if the blade is held in a fixture, and it would be a good idea to use protective gloves to avoid slicing yourself if the glass or blade slips.

Would this work or is there a better tool for scraping that you have in mind or have used with success before? Also how worried do I have to be with creating scratches on the glass? | |
