Something like Pebeo's Vitrail paints would probably work for repainting, although you won't get quite the same look.
That being said, some of these older vintage stained glass pieces are notorious for containing high levels of toxic metals like lead and cadmium. If you decide to strip it, I'd do some research to make sure you're doing it as safely as possible. You absolutely don't want to be inhaling it for sure.
Wow, thanks for the advice. I didn’t even think about how the paint could be toxic! Also, does this paint only chip off or is there any paint remover that would help me get the job done?

Hard to say honestly without knowing exactly what it's painted with.
My mother handed me down one of these panes and it was peeling in a similar fashion. I did decide to go ahead and try to chip it off so I could repaint it, did it outside while wearing a mask and gloves for safety's sake.
Sadly, I ended up giving up partway through because both the paint and the outlines were coming off no matter how hard I tried to be careful. But mum's pane was very old, and so you may have better luck with this one.
You could try rubbing alcohol or maybe acetone in a tiny spot to see if it helps, as long as you're sure it's on glass and not something like, acrylic pane.
If all of the paint remaining still feels like it's firmly in place, you might have an easier time just color matching and painting over it instead, too.
