It just says "heating furnace". Literally: add, heat, stove/furnace for the three characters.

No idea where glory hole came from.

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.

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.
