Seriously. I was surprised at how much the glass was emitting. I should perhaps have a word with my mother, who not only uses uranium glass pitchers, drinking glasses and serving bowls day to day, but also eats off vintage fiestaware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiesta_(dinnerware)#Radioactive_glazes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiesta_(dinnerware)#Radioactiv...
- zenexer 7y agoIt’s not emitting the light on its own, and the fluorescence is unrelated to its radioactive nature. Uranium glass is generally considered harmless to keep around on display as long as you’re not keeping it close to your body for long durations. That being said, you shouldn’t be eating or drinking from it. If pieces chip off and get inside your body, that can be bad.
