Abstract: A water-repellent glass includes a glass substrate having a first surface, and a water-repellent film deposited on the first surface of the substrate, wherein the first surface of the substrate includes a characteristic region where a part of the substrate is an aggregate of granular formations, the characteristic region including granular features seamlessly extending from the substrate, wherein when a thickness direction of the substrate is referred to as a first direction, a length of the characteristic region in the first direction is within a range of 50-2000 nm, wherein a straight line perpendicular to the first direction includes intersecting parts which intersect granular features included in the characteristic region, and an average length of the intersecting parts is within a range of 20-5000 nm, and wherein at least some of the granular features include a narrowed part where a dimension decreases toward an inner side of the substrate.
