overfired question

The bisque Kiln we used in the studio failed to turn off and fired all
night...very lucky the place didn't burn down...the pots inside are now high
fired.
They are interesting texure wise but I want to know if I can apply glaze to
them and high fire them in the gas kiln.
Someone suggested we heat the pots in the very small bisque Kiln and then
apply galze when they are hot. I'd like to either glaze them or at least
place a wash on them and then refire them....anyone know if they will explode.
They do not at the moment hold water and are not really interesting enough to
be ornamental.

I swear the clay just does that to annoy me :)
