Abstract: Methods for producing glass articles from glass melts are provided that include continuously introducing the glass melt into a stirrer vessel, stirring the glass melt in the stirrer vessel by at least one blade stirrer, continuously discharging the glass melt from the stirrer vessel, and shaping the glass melt to obtain the glass article. In some embodiments, the stirring is sufficient to draw the glass melt located at a surface of the stirrer vessel into the stirrer vessel so that a formation of a surface layer of the glass melt with a different composition from the composition of the glass melt introduced is prevented or at least minimized. In other embodiments, the stirring is sufficient so that the glass melt which is located at a surface in the stirrer vessel is not drawn into the stirrer vessel or is drawn in only insubstantially.
