High boron content glazes will easily fire in that temperature range. I
think that you may want to think about what element you plan to use for
crystal formation and how to source it. You may find your answer there. Do
you have a copy of "Crystal Glazes: Understanding the Process and Materials"
by Fara Shimbo?
