The semi-transparent layer has a region of a solid color or of a design of two or more colors, and the semi-transparent layer has a first optical density. Further, the deadfront article includes a contrast layer disposed onto the region. The contrast layer is configured to enhance visibility of the color(s) of the semi-transparent layer.

Provided is a transparent conductive film-equipped glass substrate that, during patterning by laser of a transparent conductive film formed on an underlying glass layer, can prevent the transparent conductive film or the underlying glass layer from being discolored or damaged, and a manufacturing method thereof. A transparent conductive film-equipped glass substrate 6 includes a glass substrate, an underlying glass layer provided on the glass substrate, and a transparent conductive film 3 provided on the underlying glass layer and subjected to patterning by laser. The underlying glass layer has an absorptance of a wavelength of the laser lower than the transparent conductive film 3 and higher than the glass substrate. A patterned region 10 formed by removing part of the transparent conductive film 3 by the patterning by laser includes a first linear portion 11, a second linear portion 12, and a connecting portion 13 connecting between the first linear portion 11 and the second linear portion 12. The first linear portion 11 and the second linear portion 12 form an angle of 120? or less with each other. The connecting portion 13 has a radius of curvature of 0.5 mm or more.

A glass article includes a glass plate including a rugged surface configured to diffuse and reflect an external light formed on at least one of main surfaces; and a functional film formed on the rugged surface. A transmission haze of the glass article is 28% or less. On a surface of the functional film opposite to the glass plate, within a region with a visual field area of 60000 m.sup.2 observed by using a laser microscope, a pore representative diameter is less than 12 m. An area ratio of a surface area A (m.sup.2) of the surface of the functional film within the region to the visual field area (A/60000) is 1.02 or more and 1.07 or less.

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.
