Abstract: In order to be able to obtain polarizing glass having favorable polarization characteristics in the visible light region, there is provided polarizing glass which is obtained by dispersing and orienting metal particles having anisotropy in shape within base glass and which exhibits dichroism, wherein the base glass is transparent glass whose absorption edge of incident light is 350 nm or less when wavelength is converted into a variable, a real number part of dielectric constant of the metal is minus or crosses over 0 with energy higher than 3.5 eV when the energy is converted into a variable and reflectivity of the metal is 80% or more in the visible light region.
