Need remove paint from a valuable porcelain vase by Wileman/Foley/Shelley that has been painted?

I bought jardiniere (outer vase for a flower pot) from a new eBay seller. It was actually pre-Wileman Foley (which later merged with Wileman and later became Shelley). The photograph was blurry %26amp; very poor quality. The seller did state and attempt to show that the upper 'orange' part had some paint worn off the paint; I figured it would be worn the way worn gilding is. The lower part was the famous "Blue Willows" transferware image. I thought the colors are good and the price is right. But I get it (at a very low price) and I see some home-craftsman just has painted in the upper white portion orange, seems to be some enamal type paint. And where the seller said was worn is where the paint had flaked off. I'm sure there are professional porcelain restorers out there, maybe I need one. But does long standing paint over the porcelain ruin it even if it can be removed? (especially orange over white). Is there a simple way to do it (like nail polish remover removes nail polish?)

I would ask a professional. Don't risk using any chemical product.
Reply:If the paint is latex, xylene will remove it. "zip-strip" or some other methylene chloride based remover will work with most paint or enamel. Lye (sodium hydroxide) in water also works, more slowly. Don't use a remover with acid, as it may damage the porcelain.
Reply:call an antique dealer they can give you names of people that can help you
Reply:I would google a restorer for fine china and porcelain. Once I had several names I would call them all and ask lots of questions. I would be more interested in what they can do than where they are. Then I would insure and ship the vase to them, if necessary. Sometimes they can tell you what to do or use, just make sure you follow their instructions. I had to do that with some Swarovski crystal ornaments that somebody tried to fix with the wrong adhesive.
Reply:soak it in M.E.K. ,swish it around a bit and rinse it off , wash in dish detergent ,rinse with clear water , should take off all the pant and not hurt the porcelain glaze
Reply:You can heat it with a heat gun or even a hair blower. Keep the heat moving around not get just one spot to hot. The paint, once hot enough, will peel right off.
