A resistor-containing spark plug 100 has an alumina insulator 2 coated with a glaze layer 2d, the glaze layer 2d has a lead component content of 1 mol % or lower in terms of PbO and containing a silicon component, a boron component, a zinc and/or alkaline earth metal component, and an alkali metal component. The insulator has, in an axially central position thereof, a projection part protruding from the outer circumferential surface thereof and extending in a circumferential direction. That main body of the insulator which is located adjacent to the projection part on the rear side thereof, which is the side opposite to the front side facing the center electrode in the axial direction, has a base portion having a cylindrical outer circumference. The outer circumference of the base portion is covered with the glaze layer which, when examined by the method as provided for in JIS B 0601, gives a surface roughness curve having a maximum height Ry of 10 mum or smaller.
