Abstract
Provided is a method of producing a glass article, including: a melting step of heating molten glass (Gm) in a glass melting furnace (2) through application of a current with electrode groups (13) to (16) including a plurality of electrodes (A) to (H) connected to a common power supply system; and a forming step of forming a glass fiber (Gf) from the molten glass (Gm) heated in the melting step. The melting step includes: a measurement step of measuring ground voltages of the electrodes (A) to (H) included in the electrode groups (13) to (16); and a determination step of determining leakage glass (Gx) from the glass melting furnace (2) based on variations in the ground voltages measured in the measurement step.
