- the method for manufacturing a glass article according to the fifth embodiment includes a preparation step S31, a thinning step S32, and a water treatment step S33 in this order.
- Each step is similar to the corresponding step in the above-described embodiment, but this embodiment differs in that it does not include a chemical strengthening step.
- the unreinforced treatment glass comes into contact with the treated water.
- the pen drop strength of the treated glass tends to be higher than when chemically strengthened treated glass is brought into contact with treated water. Therefore, high pen drop strength can be obtained even in a glass article manufactured through the water treatment step S33 in which unstrengthened treatment glass is brought into contact with treated water.
- the glass article is not limited to chemically strengthened glass.
- chemically strengthened glass articles tend to have higher bending strength. Therefore, from the viewpoint of achieving both pen drop strength and bending strength, the glass article is preferably chemically strengthened glass.

By controlling the temperature of the treated water to 100° C. or higher in this way, the effect of shortening the water treatment time until the desired pen drop strength is obtained can be expected.
- the temperature of the treated water is preferably higher than 100°C and lower than 200°C.

- heat treatment may be performed before and after ion exchange.

- the glass for treatment is washed and dried after the chemical strengthening process and before the water treatment process.
- the stress distribution of the glass article after strengthening is at least one of a bending point, a local maximum value, a local minimum value, or an inflection point in the region of the compressive stress layer 2. may have one or more.

- the stress distribution in the tensile stress layer 3 has a minimum value at the center of the thickness of the glass article.
- the distribution shape can be along a convex quadratic curve.
- the stress distribution of the glass article may be asymmetric between the front and back sides.
- Asymmetrical stress distribution on the front and back surfaces can be achieved by polishing one main surface of a glass article after strengthening more than the other, or by chemically strengthening one main surface with a film that inhibits ion exchange. It will be done.
