Removing paint from a stoneware jug.

[LisaTammy]

I recently purchase one of the brown an white stoneware jugs at a flea market for a steal. Trouble is the woman that had it painted over the white part with a light blue paint. Is there any way I can remove the paint without harming the glaze underneath? I haven't tried anything yet but it is driving me a bit crazy.Lisa

I would think that paint stripper would work effectively without harming the finish . I am sure some others will chime in . Maybe someone will be more informable than I .

I have used acetone successfully. It cleaned up all the paint, and did no damage to the original finish.Here's my before & after photo.

You won't harm the glaze at all with stripper. I used it on a churn that some crafty person had painted, and it turned out just fine. Let us know how it turns out.
