A method for producing a glass article includes forming a glass sheet from a molten glass source and separating the glass article from the glass sheet. During the step of separating the glass article from the glass sheet, the water content of the atmosphere surrounding the glass sheet is controlled to be below a predetermined value. Such control of the water content of the atmosphere surrounding the glass article can effectively reduce the density of particles adhered thereto.
