According to the present invention, the structure is made of a glassy material having a specific composition, or a surface of the structure is covered with the specific glassy material. The glassy material contains silicon in an amount of 30 to 70 wt. % in terms of SiO.sub.2. The glassy material further contains sodium and/or potassium in an amount of 10 to 50 wt. % in terms of Na.sub.2 O and/or K.sub.2 O. The glassy material furthermore contains iron in an amount of 5 to 50 wt. % in terms of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3. All or a part of the iron is present in a ferrous state. The glassy material contains the ferrous iron in an amount of not less than 1 wt. %.
