It was blown as a vase despite it looking curiously like a bong..I'm not sure if even a glass drill bit will successfully go through this w/o breaking it? Its fairly thin seeing as it is intended for art purposes..but its too perfect to not attempt to smoke out of.. :D

O yeah..I did notice that actually..
I just went and took a 2nd look and it is indeed ceramic! I feel lame seeing as I take and love a ceramic / pottery class :D

So a tile drillbit will do?

Yup it'll work fine. Get a carbide-tipped masonry bit if at all possible. Also, use two pieces of masking tape to make an X where you want to drill. This will help keep the bit from sliding all over. Be sure to use a fairly light pressure towards the end to keep the hole clean all the way through. Otherwise you might preak little pieces off the backside.
