I have been given a gorgeous ruby glass water set with gilt 40th anniversary on it. I don’t want the 40th anniversary writing on it, but don’t want to damage the glass when I remove it. I believe the glass to be actual ruby glass, not ruby flashing, but am not positive about that.

DON’T.
If this is valuable Ruby glass or has some antique value, you would completely ruin it.
Research exactly what it is before doing anything.
