The present invention provides colored glass containing no hazardous substances,
such as CdS, CdSe and PbCrO4, and used for lamps and covers for lighting,
a colored glass bulb with yellow to orange color produced by using said colored
glass, and a method for producing said colored glass and said colored glass bulb.
Glass composition having a formula of R2O—RO—SiO2
(wherein R is an alkali metal element and R is an alkaline earth metal
element) is added with 0.01-0.6 of weight ratio of Mo (molybdenum) as MoO3
and 0.01-1.0 of weight ratio of S to obtain the colored glass and the colored
glass bulb therefrom. The colored glass having a formula of R2O—RO—SiO2
is formed to a desired shape to obtain the colored glass bulb, and the shaped
hollow article is heated to 400-620 C. to apply a coloring treatment thereto.
