flower vase flask?

Look what I found today!

I saw these pretty round-bottom flask and I was pretty excited i didn't buy them it was 20$ each but if I can somehow break the inner glass without destroying the whole thing I can use this as a boiling flask maybe? I can't buy any glassware in Tunisia so this can be helpful if it resists heat a little
I bought this heating element I need a glass tube to bubble ammonia in water and don't want to use plastic tubes ammonia can dissolve plastic as we all know

The vase is an oil and vinegar cruet.

God! I'm so stupid I thought breaking the glass inside should be easy well I guess I'll just stick with calcium nitrate + sulfuric acid method :(

Chinese sell 2 liter boiling flasks made out of boro glass two for 20$ + 5$ for shipping.

There's really no need to use flower vases in any chemistry. Perhaps as a settling or collecting vessels for ntp liquids, but nothing else.
