It may work if the inclusion is very small and flat, but I don't think it would work for most cases. Any part that doesn't touch the plate wouldn't be heated enough because glass so poorly transmits heat, and the cooler part would cause incomplete encasing, hazing, or cracking on the inclusion. The inclusion has to be heated all around, from the top, the sides, and the bottom.
