There is another problem.
Heat resistant glass is a recent innovation and wasn’t around historically.
A flame covered by a glass may not be considered a “Halachically Visible” flame. See sugya of “Erva BeAshashith”.
So as the flame sinks into the glass and can only be seen through the glass it may not be considered even “visible”.
