Not to be smart, but driving over them with a vehicle works pretty good but you might loose a bit of porcelain. Make sure the concrete is flat and smooth and just drive over the dented area. It would not hurt to pad the topside either.
Others may have other ideas.
Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.

I wouldn't try. Porcelain has absolutely zero flex to it.

If you do decide to try. Which in this case don't look good. Put a towel on the bottom side if it's double sided. Or the concrete could scratch the hell out of it.

Its looks as good as it ever will. Anything you do is only going to damage it further.
