To provide a vessel for glass manufacture capable of control a crack which occurs by volatilization of iridium easily and adequately, when glass is melted, for example, at a high temperature over 1,000°C.

The vessel for glass manufacture includes Ir or an alloy containing Ir, and includes a vessel body having an inner surface with contacting a glass melt and an outer surface without contacting the glass melt, and an electron donor body having an electron donor material which is connected electrically to the outer surface of the vessel body and supplies electrons to the vessel body. The vessel for glass manufacture is characterized by being used under an oxidizing atmosphere.
