Yes-- at most home stores you can purchase an engraving tool for
identifying tools , etc., with initials names etc.. It is usually kept with the
Dremel tools.

It has a hardened steel point and vibrates.. I find it cut thru glaze
very fast and doesn't damage the kiln shelf as a chisel does.

Other than chipping off glaze with a chisel are there any short cuts or
comments on this chore?

Angle grinder fitted with masonry grinding disk, using a light touch!

I use a diamond coated tile cutting blade on an angle grinder. Works very
good for me. Just go slow as this blade is very aggressive. Be sure to
protect your eyes.
