"oven of some sort" you mean like a kiln?, sure, they are readily available commercially. Just do an internet search for "kiln" Small or medium size kilns are not too hard to build, though if you want to power it electrically by the time you buy the elements and controls you might be better off buying one ready made, but a gas fired kiln can be about as simple as a burner and a pile of fire brick.

Yes, a blacksmiths oven for forming and melting iron. Coke is used as fuel with oxygen blown in to max the temperature.

The internal thermal energy of the combustion chamber of a high power Gas Turbine can exceed 2,000°F.
I have worked on some at only 14,000 horse power where the temperature reached 1,700°F.
Gas Turbines used for High Power Generation are more powerful.

A Google search for, guess what, "high temperature oven"
http://tinyurl.com/333pbc
http://tinyurl.com/3xjzkt
Has a 1400°F (760°C) model.
Wiki http://tinyurl.com/39g5k4 claims an electric arc furnace
can reach 1800C (3272F).
But, this is not "humanly possible", but "machinely possible".

ceramics? it would likely be really difficult.
with a microwave or specially designed oven you might be able to approach that. Once you are up over 1000 celsius it likely gets more and more expensive.

1 000 degrees Celsius = 1 832 degrees Fahrenheit
ceramics can assist... (as they serve to trap the heat inside the object... )
Part of the issue is that your regular ovens may melt at that temperature...

A Tokomak reactor reaches a temperature of 100,000,000 degrees, but I am not sure whether this is centigrade or absolute.

Done all the time in metal shops. Melting metal requires high temps, e.g., aluminum is 1,800 deg F.

Steel mills routinely do that to make molten steel for casting or rolling.

Yes, once global warming picks up enough...
