What is that doing, measuring lead?
You are such a killjoy.
In my old neighborhood, we used to joke that the lead paint held our houses together during the decades of neglect. don’t diss lead paint! Ha ha
Fiestaware was made for some time with a uranium-based glaze. It spices up your food a bit...Quote:

The current federal occupational limit of exposure per year for an adult is "as low as reasonably achievable; however, not to exceed 5,000 millirems", so this slightly exceeds that.
Natural yearly background radiation amounts to ~620 millirems a year, for context.
We had Fiestaware. I think it was just the orange or maybe some brown glazes and they got onto it as a hazard somewhat early and changed the formula, although the details are vague.
Just this one particular color, luckily :-)
