George Bunn showed me a vase made of something that I never knew about - "uranium glass." He shined a light on it and it glowed. We have a small cream pitcher of the same material.

The amounts of uranium used in each piece are typically very low, it is safe to have in your home so long as it is used and handled correctly.
