A high temperature glass (860C) is commercially available
(question from thread 329-154090) but is used only for aircraft applications in batting form to prevent the burnthrough of a post-crash fire. In sheet form, this glass looks black, transparency is almost zero.
Regular "high-temp" glass (borosilicate) can work only up to 650 C.
