RE: [OM] Radioactive glass

[Scott Gomez]

http://1st.glassman.com/vaselineglass.html as a start. Uranium-bearing glass is 
generally a yellow to yellow-green color (hence the nickname, I assume). Google 
"vaseline glass" and or "radioactive glass" for more.

Interesting.  I knew about Fiestaware - it's only the older red-orange 
pottery that used uranium oxide in the glaze.  The newer stuff uses a 
non-radioactive glaze.  I hadn't heard about the Vaseline glass though. 
  Does it use uranium to produce different colored glasses?
