A method of manufacturing a glass article includes a forming step of causing a first molten glass (Gm) including POto flow down along a surface of a forming trough () including an yttrium-containing oxide by a down-draw method to form a glass ribbon (G), wherein the forming trough () includes a Mg-rich layer (MR) serving as a diffusion suppression layer for suppressing diffusion of the yttrium-containing oxide on the surface thereof.

Method for producing glass article and glass article

A tempered glass has a sheet thickness of 0.6 mm or less and having a compression stress layer resulting from chemical tempering at a surface thereof, which satisfies requirements of CS&#xd7;(DOL&#x2212;20)/DOL&#x3e;360 and DOL/t&#x2264;0.20 when the compression stress value of the compression stress layer is represented by CS (Mpa), the depth of the compression stress layer is represented by DOL (&#x3bc;m), and the sheet thickness is represented by t (&#x3bc;m).

Tempered glass

A tempered glass sheet (G) includes a compressive stress layer having a compressive stress on a main surface, and a tensile stress layer having a tensile stress in an inside. The tempered glass sheet (G) includes: a highly anisotropic stress region (Qa) which is arranged in at least part of an end edge portion, and which has a stress showing anisotropy in a plane parallel to the main surface; and a low anisotropic stress region (Qb) which is arranged on a center side in a main surface direction so as to be adjacent to the highly anisotropic stress region (Qa), and which has a stress showing lower anisotropy than the highly anisotropic stress region (Qa) in the same plane parallel to the main surface.
