I watched a video on how to make uranium glass because I have a three-shelf collection of it myself and I was curious and they use a very small amount of uranium powder per piece of glass.
I would never suggest that you eat uranium in any quantity, but the likelihood a couple of atoms of uranium leaching into the entire meal split between the whole family is insanely small, and the amount of damage a single atom of uranium can do is also insanely small.
That being said, I like them for their decorative purposes and not for use as glassware, so take that with a dose of uranium salt.
My husband is a collector. If only our collection was limited to three shelves, haha.
But yeah, we don't use ours too eat off of either, although we could. I'll take the grain of salt, because ironically, we have a set of uranium glass salt shakers that are the only pieces we use semi-frequently.
