Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

like i said before the paint is not under the glass, definitely on top of it, just stuck in the outer edge crevices/recesses. the dremel too maybe a bit too powerful, i prefer to use manual manpower LOL, to keep it under control. thanks for all the tips

Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

Here's a close-up. Doesn't look like impact, just the tiniest circular etchings lower left, and larger ones top right, with the slivers of paint embedded in the outer borders. Looking through a 4X loupe the paint is not trapped under the glass, definitely on the surface. It's coming off slowly...

Here's the pic. The paint is embedded in the outer circumference of the circles. What do you call those, and what causes them? (the circles)

I did! -- i put 2/3mm thick of the stuff. Left it for 20 minutes, 5 mins longer on the tin, then brushed it - not much came off. we are talking about miniscule amounts of paint embedded in the outer circumference/recesses of tiny circular open bubbles. Hardly took any off. I'm trying Cif/Jif...

Best way to clean white paint off an antique bottle?

Update: I spread that toxic stuff all over the affected embossed areas. waited 15 mins. Then brush it with droplets of water with a toothbrush. Result: bugger all difference, maybe too a miniscule amount that's embedded out. I'll try one more time with nail polish remover. Then another time...
