Quartz glass crucible

A quartz glass crucible comprising:

• a quartz glass crucible body having a cylindrical side wall portion, a curved bottom portion, and a corner portion which has a larger curvature than that of the bottom portion and connects the side wall portion and the bottom portion to each other;
• and
• an inner-surface coating film which contains a crystallization accelerator and is formed on an inner surface of the quartz glass crucible body,
• wherein the inner surface of the quartz glass crucible body is under compressive stress,
• an average grain size of crystal grains contained in an inner crystal layer formed in a vicinity of the inner surface of the quartz glass crucible body due to an action of the inner-surface coating film heated during a step of pulling a silicon single crystal is 0.1 to 100 μm,
• a peak of a frequency distribution of the crystal grains is in a range of 0.1 to 100 μm, and
• plane orientations of the inner crystal layer having first and second highest area occupancy ratios, among all plane orientations of the inner crystal layer, account for 50% or more of total area occupancy ratios of the all plane orientations as viewed from an inner surface side of the quartz glass crucible body.
