Ceramic figures should be left to dry for 24hours and we can easily apply paint & when the paint gets dry applying varnish on it will give a shiny look.
Glaze flaking off can occur due to several reasons, including improper application or firing temperature. If the glaze was applied too thickly or unevenly, it may not adhere properly to the clay body. Additionally, a mismatch between the thermal expansion coefficients of the glaze and the ceramic can lead to stress during cooling, causing the glaze to crack and flake. Environmental factors, such as moisture or exposure to harsh conditions, can also contribute to glaze degradation.
I cleaned mine (sinks and tub) with adhesive cleaner and paint and varnish remover. Worked. Then I scrubbed with CLR and ajax.
It depends on the paint that was used to paint the tiles originally, but usually a methylene chloride stripper will take off an epoxy used to paint tiles and not harm the tiles. Use strippers only in a well ventilated area with protective clothing and eyewear.
There is no paint that won't wear off soon in this application. The best you could get would be an epoxy paint,and even that won't last long. -That's why they do floors with tile !
If the pottery is pottery, any ceramic paint will work. Some require baking in a home oven, others don't. If it's terra cotta and not glazed, any exterior paint will work, but you MUST seal the inside or the paint will fall off from the moisture.
Glaze off walls???? You don't. you prime and apply fresh paint.
Sealer is applied on top of the glaze & does not penetrate the glass Glaze, so over time & with use & cleaning it will wear off. so YES!
There can be. Some pottery (and some glazes) use lead and that can be hazardous.

you could try putting it in a kiln and burning it off but a recommend you do this at a low temp
The gloss is fired on glaze. In short, it's a very thin coating of glass. You might try using a very fine emery cloth to dull the glaze, but the results won't be what you wish. For a temporary fix, try simply painting over the glaze with acrylic wash. It will dull the finish. After all, you might change your mind later.
If it is vinyl tile and it's latex paint, rubbing alcohol will remove it. If it is a ceramic or porcelain tile, you can carefully scrape it off or if it is also latex paint, the same thing,,,alcohol will remove it.

Dont risk it. The paint could come off or something.

I have seen them painted, and they look awful. And, if it's on the floor, the paint will generally wear off.
Paint thinner will take off the oil based paint, but first test it in a corner to ensure it will not damage the face. Glazed tile shouldn't be damaged from paint thinner, but you would want to be sure.
