The apparatus for producing glass beads of the present invention comprises a melting pot 2 for heating and melting glass, a nozzle 2 A for dripping molten glass 4 in the melting pot 2 , which is disposed at the bottom of the melting pot 2 , and a liquid glass droplet receiver 11 filled with cooling solution 150 for cooling the liquid glass droplet 10 dripped from the nozzle 2 A, which is disposed under the nozzle 2 A, wherein the cooling solution 150 is made from a material that forms a bubble layer around the liquid glass droplet 10 as the cooling solution 150 is vaporized due to the heat of the liquid glass droplet 10 during a period when the liquid glass droplet 10 is cooled down to a temperature lower than the glass transfer temperature in the cooling solution 150.
