ceramic shortbread mold

I have unglazed ceramic bread pans. They make nice bread, but if you
don't follow the greasing and flouring instructions to the letter, you
need a demolition permit to get the bread out of the pan. When I made
my own ceramic bread pans, I glazed them in and out. Grease them, fill
with bread dough, bake and have great bread.

I wouldn't recommend glazing a purchased ceramic shortbread mold.
However, if it were me, I'd use the mold to make a plaster mold, then
make my own ceramic shortbread mold with a shiny glaze. Butter the
mold, and the cookies should release easily.

Hmmmm.... note to self: make plaster mold from that really nice
ceramic cookie mold that drives me crazy to use.
