I don't see anything that indicates that this could be dangerous, so I have to assume that it is safe.

I do know that pigments made from uranium oxide (bright white), in cloisonné, can be quite dangerous.

Of course, radium pigments were very dangerous (not to mention the medicinal philters).




Most of it is safe to have in a display case. I have an antique uranium glass photo filter that's hot enough that I keep it in a metal box. All of the pieces I have put out enough beta radiation to easily detect. I don't have an alpha counter.

You wouldn't want to grind it up and inhale the dust. I winced when I saw someone on Etsy selling uranium glass shards they'd tried to reclaim from broken pieces by putting them in a rock tumbler to make them look like beach glass.

I wouldn't recommend actually eating off of it either, but most of it is so old and fragile you'd probably want to avoid that anyway.


And I don't see any indication of this being safe :)

It's radiation isn't it? Most of the stuff I encounter on a daily basis are much lower on the table. So there must be some differences.


These things aren't dangerous unless you grind them to dust and snort them. You're being blasted by space and earth radiation every single second of your life, the level of radiation emitted by these items isn't enough to be a problem


Light is radiation. There is no reason to be scared without understanding
