In the 90s the US dropped regulations and some uranium glass is still made today, albeit not as large glassware pieces anymore. Despite the name and the association of uranium with radiation, uranium glass is only negligibly radioactive and totally safe (assuming they didn’t put any lead paint on it).

Yeah! They do make it again, but I just haven’t found any more modern pieces that I actually like.
I used to have a floral pattern plate from the 30s that I found while thrifting, but one of my professors was a nuclear chemist so I gifted it to him.
