I remember hearing at a session of the Objects Specialty Group of the American Institute for Conservation some years ago that certain types of Fiestaware and Art Glass contain low but measurable amounts of radiation as a uranium product was used in the manufacturing process.

I am on an out of town project this week but I will endeaver to track down the reference and post it when I return home to Los Angeles next week - maybe Noah has been able to land the Ark and let all the animals out to play!

(For those who haven't heard we have been having rains of nearly biblical proportions - now almost two years average accumulation since Jan, 1st.)

Cheers!
