A method for producing a silica container comprising: forming a preliminarily molded substrate, wherein a first powdered raw material is fed to an inner wall of an outer frame having aspiration holes while rotating the outer frame; forming a preliminarily molded intermediate layer, wherein a second powdered raw material added with an aluminum compound or a crystal nucleating agent as an additive is fed to an inner wall of the preliminarily molded substrate; and forming an inner layer, wherein the preliminarily molded substrate and the preliminarily molded intermediate layer are degassed by aspiration from a peripheral side with heating from an inside thereby forming a substrate and an intermediate layer, and while a third powdered raw material having a high silica purity is spread from inside the substrate having the formed intermediate layer with heating from the inside thereby forming an inner layer on an inner surface of the intermediate layer.
