Abstract
Provided is a glass fine particle deposit in which a pH of glass fine particles on a surface of the glass fine particle deposit is 5.5 or more and less than 8.5, in which a color difference ΔE*ab with respect to a white calibration plate when the surface of the glass fine particle deposit is measured by the SCI method using a spectrophotometer is 0.5 or more and less than 5. Provided is a method for manufacturing a glass preform including: manufacturing a transparent glass preform by heating a glass fine particle deposit in which a pH of glass fine particles on a surface of the glass fine particle deposit is 5.5 or more and less than 8.5; and measuring the surface of the deposit by the SCI method using a spectrophotometer and determining whether a color difference ΔE*ab with respect to a white calibration plate is 5 or more.
