PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a glass article, by which heating control can be performed precisely when the glass article is manufactured. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the glass article includes a process for heating the glass article by a heating source capable of relatively moving to the glass article. The heating source includes an induction heating element and an induction coil, surrounding the glass article. In the method, the induction heating element is allowed to generate heat by applying an electric current to the induction coil, a hole is perforated in the induction heating element and the temperature of the glass article is measured through the hole, and further, the calorific value of the induction heating element is regulated by regulating the magnitude of the electric current to be applied based on the measured temperature.
