Isn't a kiln just a type of furnace able to reach temperatures capable of vitrification? So either one is technically correct, but one is specific when the goal is reaching high temperatures. (Alternately the term oven could be used just as well, but that is more commonly used in terms of cooking and food preparation.)

Well if it's wool, it's basically inflammable and not a problem; issues will be mostly cosmetic, maybe some small holes. If it's a flammable natural fabric, the worst that can happen is a spot catches on fire and you slap it, putting it out. You now have a hole to patch and some slightly singed hairs, maybe, but that's it. Even if it the entire thing catches fire and burns off of you, you'd have to be quite daft to let it burn long enough to badly injure you and not take it off. And fabric being quife the insulator, does provide you with a decent grace period of protection from accidentally touching hot stuff. Now if you have a synthetic fabric, that's quite dangerous; it can burn, but melts onto the skin instead of burning off of you, and the natural reaction is to pat it out, driving that molten plastic into the skin of the melting area and your hand. Never work with heat with synthetic materials

If I remember right, the glass makers eventually transitioned from wood to charcoal and then coke to fuel their furnaces. Gradually working their way toward more energy dense fuel. The advent of refractory materials to make proper crucibles, to concentrate that energy, helped a lot too.

Natron was used by the ancient Egyptians in the mummification process, I believe.

Almost everything in the Roman world was made on a massive scale. This led to the loss of native industry, so when Roman economic structure broke down there was a loss of those industries in certain areas. This happened in Britain even to pottery, leading to the rise of the wooden bucket.

@SuperFunkmachine

I don't think there really as much of a loss of pottery as some people say there is. There's certainly a loss of volume being made but pottery would of reappeared as an industry on a local level with in a few decades but at a higher cost. Now pottery breaks as we all know, but the other wood, horn an metal don't. And if pottery is now the expensive choice vs horn and wood, any fool can turn a wooden cup or mould a horn, an then volume falls even more an pottery becomes much less in production an higher in cost. Cue pottery being expensive until some one can fund the building an running of a large kiln.
