Do not use ceramics like antique orange-red Fiestaware or Vaseline glass to hold food or drink. They can chip, and you can ingest particles of uranium with your food or drink.

From what I've read, it's only dangerous if you ingest it, food that's just been sitting on it is fine, but if a chip or shard of it get in you it can fuck you up.

So yeah best not to eat off of. It's apparently fine as a decorative piece tho, being near it won't give you cancer.

From what I've read, it's not good to eat chips or shards of any glass.

Yeah but I doubt the radiation helps

Nah they cancel out. The radiation, physical shards of glass, the microplastics, cholesterol and bird flu in the food itself are all trying to fit through a door to get me at the same time but they can't get through.

The doctors call it Three Stooges syndrome.
