Hope all works well for you. You had some great suggestions. And I know how you feel. I made a really great hanging plant holder using an old plate only to find out later it was a $32. old plate. And I had cut it in half. ooooops.
ok, easy! I just did this and it worked like a charm. I had glued magnets to the back of glass marbles and wanted to replace the magnets with stronger ones three days after the E6000 dried. I thought about trying the acetone trick but it seemed stinky so I didn't want that all over my hands. I put the marble/magnets into a pot of water and warmed the water over medium to low heat. I let them sit in the warm water for an amount of time I was convinced any glue would've been softened. Pulled them out with a spoon, took a dull knife and the magnets pried off with no effort whatsoever! The glue peeled right off.

Being that this is a vintage plate, I would take it to someone who specializes in glass and dish repair, just to be on the safe side.
I have successfully removed 4 glass round vases from a glass plate by using WD40. I let it soak on the glue for about a half hour and loosened one side with a razor blade and they lifted safely off the glass. A little scraping with the razor to remove the residual glue.
i did not post this question, someone else using my info did. dorlis grote
It says it was posted by Denise, not Dorlis
I realize this is an older question but but I just ran across it while researching the same question. After reading all the responses I decided to try the simplest 1st and placed the pieces in a pot of water on medium heat. Allowed it to come to low boil before removing them. Came apart very easily!
I used a product called Un-do-it and a dull utility knife. It came off pretty easy.
I know this is an old post.....I have the same situation with a wood bowl on a candle votive. The bowl is not a priceless heirloom, but I really like the bowl and did pay $30 for it. It is a large bowl and it sits to high to use
So these ideas....will they harm the wood? The boiling water sounds like my best bet??
I used E6000 to glue some 1940's cut crystal stemware and crystal bowls together.
I just used equate Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer and poured it on where I had glued it and less than 5 minutes I was able to use a putty knife and it came right off. Kind of bothers me that I have been using it on my hands now. This was fragile stemware I was taking apart. No chips or breaks. The glue then pulled right off in globs. Maybe I was just lucky. Good luck.
If all else fails. Enjoy it as it is!
Apply acetone nail polish remover or naphtha spirits to the glue. Acetone and naphtha spirits are both solvents that will soften and start to dissolve E6000 bonds. Wet a rag or a cotton ball with either of these liquids and apply it liberally to the glue. These solvents are strong enough to damage some substances.
Try acetone.
