what temp would i have to take the kiln to to just make the bottles slump and not become molten?

I'm sure this depends on what type and width of glass in the bottle. so really I think you might have to try and error.
I wouldn't have thought that the heat is the key maybe the timing will need to be what you experiment to get the slump just how you want it.

It melts at 1425 - 1600 °C depending on exact composition
so your normal oven isn't hot enough, if you have a furnace, then I'd sugest expertimenting with a few of the same bottles with temp and duration to get the desired effect.

I would suggest putting them in the kiln and removing them one at a time to see when they are malleable enough.
Trial and error unless you can contact a glass worker and get a definitive answer.

I would look it up on google under glass blowers and i agree there must be a better title but see if that will put you onto something
