Beginner glassware question.

Is it safe to heat my borosilicate erlenmeyer with a common lighter? Or will it cause thermal shock strong enough to break the flask? I brought it from Amazon, it doesn't specify any safe temperature limit.

Also is there any safe operating temperature chart for different glasswares?
