No idea where glory hole came from.
The opening is actually called that in the US by glass workers. They mentioned it in a corning museum of glass live stream, but I can't find it right now.

That is what this particular type of furnace is called in glassblowing. A glory hole is a specific furnace for reheating glass that has been gathered to keep it at the right temperature.
