A process for preparing a surface-darkened glass is disclosed. In the first step of this process, a specified silicate glass which contains a minor amount of antimony trioxide is provided. Thereafter, this glass is heated to a temperature of from about 350 to about 1,000 degrees Celsius while being contacted with hydrogen-containing gas. The presence of the antimony trioxide in the glass facilitates the darkening of its surface.
