Diamond hole saw / core drill style bit.10 Sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 22mm, 35mm. 40mm, 50mmApplication: Drill Glass, Tile Bottles, Blocks Jars, Fiberglass Porcelain Tile Ceramic, Slate Mable, Granite Light StoneSPEED KILLS: Reduced drill speeds, low drill pressure and increased use of water lubrication will extend drill bit life considerablyWarrnings: Not for use on Concrete or for depths beyond about 1/2"; Enough water is MUST HAVE for lubrication and cooling when drilling
So hit the local hardware store and buy a diamond tipped hole bit like these. Do this at an angle to start to keep the bit from walking (and scarring your glass) while having running water on it. If you need a friend to help with the hose or spray bottle then use them. Heat will cook the moderately expensive bit and well as crack your project. After you get an edge to bite work your drill to 90* and keep the water coming. This will cool and lubricate the hole your making. Wear safety glasses, you're essentially chipping tiny pieces of glass, ceramic, or clay. If the end turns blue/purple from heat, the bit is cooked and throw it away.

Adding on to what rachahany said, it's really up to you. Easier to tile before hanging everything else, but then you gotta deal with the tile. I'd be over the moon if I didn't have to cut around everything.
If you install the brackets first, and ensure there's enough blocking behind the plasterboard then you can roughly cut around them and avoid frustration cutting around the installed units. A few holes is nothing if you have the gear.
I tend to use these holesaws for porcelain, they're nothing special but they work well. Use with a wet sponge and start from an angle.

Any cute pot can be functional with a drill and a hole saw bit. .
All I used was a drill and [one of these diamond drill bits] (https://www.amazon.com/BLENDX-Diamond-Drill-Bits-Extractor/dp/B01MR1HTLH/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1494215602&sr=8-6&keywords=diamond+drill+bits). I just wet the bottle down in the sink and drilled slowly at first to establish a groove then it's pretty easy to just keep it in place until you're through. If you already have a drill you can drill any bottle with just some of those bits.
I've seen someone on youtube drill a hole in a piece of wood to hold these bits still & he had great luck drilling holes in bottles & glass!
