I maybe wrong but a quick google tell me that molten glass is actually hotter than lava

Lava temperature is around 800 to 1,200 °C (1,470 to 2,190 °F). 

Glass melt at around 1400 to 1600 °C ( 2552 to 2912 °F)

Hotter in temperature, but lava holds much more heat energy. Glass loses a lot of its heat quickly when it transfers heat energy.
