The variational method in the context of the modified effective mass approximation is used to calculate the dependence of exciton ground-state energy for a quantum dot embedded in a borosilicate glassy matrix on the quantum dot radius. It is shown that the peaks in the absorption and low-temperature luminescence spectra of such a nanosystem are shifted to shorter wavelengths due to size quantization of the exciton ground-state energy in the quantum dot.
