Abstract
A product having a glass layer is produced that can be produced at low cost and can exhibit excellent antibacterial function. A base body, a first glazing material capable of forming a first glass layer on a surface of the base body, and a second glazing material capable of forming a second glass layer containing a silver compound on the surface of the base body. A first glazing material layer comprising the first glazing material and, on the surface side, a second glazing material layer comprising the second glazing material are formed on the surface of the base body. The first glazing material layer and the second glazing material layer are melted to form a first glass layer and a second glass layer. The second glazing material layer has a higher viscosity upon melting than the first glazing material layer.
