Abstract

Disclosed is an ultraviolet-absorbing glass article comprising a glass matrix composition including, in mass % in terms of oxide contents, 66-75% SiO 2 , 10-20% Na 2 O, 5-15% CaO, 0-6% MgO, 0-5% Al 2 O 3 , 0-5% K 2 O, at least 0.8% to less than 2.4% total iron content in terms of Fe 2 O 3 (t-Fe 2 O 3 ), 0-0.01% Cr 2 O 3 , 0.02-0.04% CoO, 0.0005-0.0045% Se, and greater than 0% to at most 1% TiO 2 , wherein: the amount of redox is from 20% to 30% inclusive; redox, t-Fe 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 satisfy a predetermined relationship; and t-Fe 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , CoO, and Se satisfy a predetermined relationship.
