Dear Sandra and others,
I drilled a filled glaze hole with silicon carbide paste that I
retrieved from the
litho shop in the art dept. I used to get it from the sink by the hand
full. I
used this as a paste on the tip of an ordinary drill bit. It worked.

Marcia's use of SiCO3 paste does work well. I have used it with short
lengths of copper pipe in a drill press. The soft copper holds th paste
well. Cuts right through stoneware. Nils

Yep, it sure does...as does a long nail, vibrated with a hand held orbital
sander...put a ring of putty around the site to be drilled, pour in a slurry
of silicon carbide grit, set the point of the nail in place and hold the
sander against the head of the nail. This is a close approximation of an
ultra-sonic drill used in lapidary work. I used this method to drill some
broken glass goblets to make wind chimes years ago. It was actually faster
than the carbide glass drill bits that would break the glass half the time
I used them.
The silicon carbide grit can be found at any lapidary shop, or at an engine
machining shop, or even at the pottery supply shop, though this is usually
too fine to cut fast.

Drills for Glass used to be - maybe still sometimes are - various short
'tubes' as short pieces of pipe would be...made of Copper or sometimes
Brass, having some small slender slots cut or sawn at the business end.
These were used with water, kerosine or soap-water, and silicon carbide
grinding powder or other
abrasive 'dust'...run slow, or at least not at 'dremil' speed...they work
well, and would work on drilling through glaze or to drill through the side
or bottom of a
glazed vessel, should one want to do so.
I imagine a solid 'wire' (as a short length of 'Brazeing-Rod' , annealed
'drill-rod' or what) would work in this way as well, should one file a
small 'vee' or 'ex' on the end to grab the abrasive when rotating...
One would make a little 'Dam' with (Glazier's or other) putty to keep the
water-slurrey from spilling away...rpms would be in the hundreds, maybe a
low thousand at most...and steady even pressure...
