Old fiestaware is radioactive because uranium was used to obtain that nice orange color. New fiestaware is not radioactive. you can get the old stuff in antique stores for about 20 bucks a plate. Interesting that old watches used radioactive sources to paint the dials so they would glow in the dark. unfortunately, the people that painted the dials developed cancer of the tonge. why tongue? well, how do you make your brush nice and pointy?....
