Glass melts at between 900 degrees F and 1650 degrees F while the lamp operates at an estimated 100-130 degrees F, however, differential temperature changes, especially rapid changes in temperature may cause a glass surface to crack. The lamp is made of glass, and the bottom of the lamp usually has a felt pad, so there is no mechanical reason why the lamp may not be used on a glass surface except it may slip, and the manufacturer's instructions specifically state DO NOT operate the lamp on glass surfaces.

What happen to lamp if over voltage?
A lamp will only operate at its rated power if it is subjected to its rated voltage. Increase that voltage will increase the power of the lamp -in other words, it will operate more brightly. This is how 'photoflood' lamps operate -they are deliberately designed to operate at overvoltage. Of course, this reduces the life of the lamp.
