You are a FR treasure with some of the most fascinating stuff most of us either never knew or could ever dream up.
Thanx, Sunken Civ.

I don’t see why the article makes a big deal about “high temperatures”. Pottery kilns have to reach and maintain similar, if not higher, temperatures, for as long or longer than for glass fabrication. I would speculate that the initial discovery of glass was made by a pottery firing business.
They were probably trying to come up with a new decorative flux and stumbled over the formulation for glass.
