Abstract
A method for manufacturing a glass article includes a heating step that heats a heating object made of glass. The heating step includes heating the heating object by converting, by a converter arranged between the heating object and a radiant heat source that radiates infrared light, a spectrum of the infrared light radiated from the radiant heat source and causing the heating object to absorb the infrared light radiated from the converter. The converter includes: an infrared light absorber that generates heat by absorbing the infrared light radiated from the radiant heat source; and an infrared light radiator made of a silicon-containing material. The infrared light radiator is heated through thermal conduction from the infrared light absorber. At least part of a surface of the converter facing the heating object includes at least part of a surface of the infrared light radiator.
