@Bdoll1993 The plates aren't dangerous. They type of radiation that the plates emit are safe to be around, because the alpha particles get absorbed by pretty much anything around it, including air. In addition, the amount of radioactive particles emmited from coated plates of that Era isn't high enough to be an immediate danger. The only way you might be at risk of absorbing the radioactive particles is if you were to consume the plate itself, but you wouldn't be absorbing a lot of particles. In addition, uranium is a toxic metal so you'd probably have other things to worry about aside from radioactivity 😂
The present is the most prosperous, most safe and most healthy time since the inception of civilization itself. Everyone is better off everywhere. And yes you should look at earth as a whole
For any curious: "Uranium was used in the glazes on Cloisonné jewelry to make orange, yellow and green colors. Some Fiestaware produced before 1973 used depleted uranium to create the color of the glaze."
To expand slightly, back in the day it was widely believed that a small amount of radiation has some health benefits. Consequently, during the early 20th century, everything from toothpaste, hair products and even something called a, “scrotal radiendocrinator” which was a specific tool for irradiating that "manly" area existed. Unsettling that a lot of artifacts from this era still exist, locked away in people's garages and loft spaces. Patiently waiting for an unassuming someone to irradiate. 👍

I looked at that first thing!! I found my scintillator at a heap of old electronic equipment at an estate sale. I wanted to buy a lot of what the old guy had accumulated but got this thing for nothing because I bought an old shotgun. I got rid of the shotgun, but held on to the ancient scintillator from 1945. I had to make batteries for it to work. It needed two 18 volt 'burgess' batteries, so I made some out of a lot of 9 volt batteries, and replace a hard to find glass electronic tube in the pre-digital circuit board. The batteries just didn't last as long as I liked, and there wasn't any way to make it beter except to get a newer one. I used that thing a lot, and found out about many products that were making people sick or could be a cause for cancer because of the incredible amounts of ionizing radiation being emitted from them.
Nuclear engineer here. These plates are alpha emitters, and while they are extremely dangerous as an internal dose (if the plate broke and you breathed in the dust), the alpha dose cannot penetrate the dead skin layer of your body. As long as the plate remains intact, they are extremely safe. You will get more dose walking outside. Still not a good idea to have these plates (if they break), but this guy is totally safe handling that plate.
im just curious, since you do seem to know...what about hairline cracks in the glaze? And also, I used to be on a US Navy Submarine, which im sure you're aware, is powered by uranium. What is the similarity here, if any, to my exposure, and as you said, alpha waves dont penetrate the outer layer of our skin, but doesnt it penetrate into pretty much everything else? Like the food we eat or water we drink in our vicinity, not necessarily the protected stuff, but what we dont think about on the daily. We had a shielding wall of course, but once its on us as we leave the shielded area, doesnt it stay with us as we travel? And can therefore contaminate the things we touch and consume? Asking for a friend :p
You make the plate sound very dangerous considering people would scratch the surface with their cutlery while cutting food and tiny particles could easily be eaten.
Some Fiesta ware and certain other types of pottery made in the early to mid-20th century are radioactive because uranium was used to make the colored glazes. Intact dishes do emit radiation but aren't harmful. However, the risk of exposure increases if the pottery is chipped or cracked
Interesting fact for you, fiesta-ware stopped production due to a top secret government project. They needed all available uranium for the Manhattan Project. True story. Look it up.

@@gioxenit Relatively mildly radioactive objects like that are not dangerous during a short exposure. It is dangerous to constantly carry such an object with you, however. This is why radioactive dust is the most dangerous thing in contaminated areas. It settles on the skin, clothes, hair, and worst of all - in the lungs. There is no way to wash it from there. So if the plate was covered with in a layer of radioactive dust, touching it would be a super bad idea. But since the plate is clean, damage caused to cells during short-term exposure will not be a problem.
I can remember my Mom collecting plates as premiums at a gas station in Oshkosh, Wisconsin back in the early 1950’s, when my Dad filled up his 1951, blue Ford sedan. We those plates and other dishes radioactive? Never knew, we didn’t have a Geiger Counter…
Couple things to point out from someone in the nuclear industry. One, your meter only reads to 100 microsieverts per hour or 10 mR per hour. So each beep indicates it’s reading above scale, however if it was as high as 200 then the beep would be continuous not intermittent, so it’s reading somewhere in the ballpark of 10 mR or a little more on contact given the beep ever so often. Two, you’d have to hold that plate directly against your abdomen for about 7 hours to get the dose of a mammogram or abdomen X-ray. It would take nearly 21 days straight non stop bracing this against your chest to pick up the yearly allotted dose limit set for the safety of all radworkers. So I’m not saying it’s great, but distance is a principle of radwork, and at about a foot away it was only reading about 3 mR, and would take nearly 1700 hours to get to your dose limit. Also, if any of you have ever had a full body CT scan, you’ve effectively held that plate about a foot from your chest for about 334 hours. Again, not saying this is good or that we should all go buy these plates and snuggle with them, but it’s not as dramatic as this demonstration makes it out to seem.
Pro tip - If your Geiger counter starts sounding like a scene from the HBO Chernobyl miniseries, you need to throw that item away. EDIT - "throw that item away" was bad phrasing. I meant you should get rid of it (by following the NRC guidelines for disposing of nuclear waste). I fixed my mistake, now leave me alone. 😆
@@CockTortureJutsuit would still accumulate over time, but I don't see anyone using these rare dishes every day unless it's like a full set (unlikely). But still over time this would increase the chances of cancers and other detrimental health issues, so maybe longer than 10 years but definitely a decline in their well-being
@@davidthedegenerate7841 If it’s doing a the iconic giger chirp your relatively fine. It’s when it’s one continuous noise is when you should be concerned.
@hornhunter7 still see no reason why it's unreasonable to have the instinct to avoid radiation when you're being told it's higher right now than normal
On ebay, the red Fiestaware plates cost 6x more, and are shown next to a geiger counter so that ppl know they're getting the good radioactive stuff lol 😂
@@Quincy8Boy The Fiestaware is made using uranium oxide for the glaze. This, while potentially harmful if ingested, does not pose a significant health risk to own. This is because the uranium oxide glaze only emits large alpha particle radiation, which can't even penetrate the outer layer of skin. Edit: This is to say that it would probably be handled just like any other fragile package.

It was not radioactive back in 1930s. Probably it came from somewhere near nuclear bomb test site. Until very recently nobody cared for the people living in the vicinity of these sites.
You know it's THAT bad when you think to yourself "If i was forced to eat on that plate or on a uranium ore shaped plate, you would pick the urarnium plate"
I once played around with one of those in college. Didn't get a lot of clicks until I went to scratch my head with my finger while still holding onto it. Went off like that plate. The metal frames of my glasses from Lens Crafters were going crazy. Now I have plastic frames.
Not from 1943-59, as the uranium was in use in the development of the atomic bomb. Also, natural uranium was used from 36-43, and depleted uranium was used from 59-72, making the newer ones less radioactive.
@@xArsVivendiThe plate has glaze that is fired in a kiln to melt the glaze onto the plate. It would be chemically different from paint used on a guitar. That being said, it might be worth checking the guitar, just in case.
Popular in the 1930s through 1960s, Fiestaware, Homer Laughlin and a couple other manufacturers produced ceramic plates, cups and other dinnerware items were available with a bright red-orange glaze. The way they obtained this unique color was to add Uranium compounds to the ceramic glaze mix. It succeeded in producing a new and attractive color, but the dinnerware was quite radioactive. Although there is no immediate harm to using the dinnerware for eating & drinking, it was surmised that over extended periods of time, with sufficiently acid foods and liquids, some of the Uranium compounds could possibly leach out into the food.
Umm so it's not recommended to eat tomato basic dishes on these dishes coz there too acidic, red is the most radioactive I think and a plate that old is probably cracked so it's definitely not safe to eat off. 1930's didn't really care that much about not poisoning you. Modern stuff is different tho
I grrew up in the 1960's and we had these plates. I remember my mother saying to be very careful with the red ones as we could not get them anymore for .... some reason
@turnkit and who made that sammich and then put it on that plate that SHE picked out from the store? That’s right, his wife. Just like Eve, that bitch is feeding him nothing but trouble. You think little Jr is his? Ha! At least he’s having a snack with no living organisms on it.
Had to look it up. 1936-1943 - Fiesta red was produced using natural uranium 1959-1969 - Fiesta red Fiestaware was produced using depleted uranium 1969-1973 - Fiesta red Fiesta Ironstone was produced using depleted uranium
I had no idea the term "nuclear family" came from the radio active plates families used together. UA-cam comment sections are extremely educational. Thanks random dude!
And people wonder why old folks are so loopy. Between the radioactive kitchen plates and cups, the toys and tools coated in lead, and all the abestos in the walls and cellings. It's miracle that they're still alive.
Fun fact. The small towns that surrounded military bases in the 1930s were commonly pre furnished, by the government, with Fiestaware for their kitchens. That plate was probably in one of the cottages near one of the atomic testing grounds in New Mexico.
It was only that orange color fiestaware. I'm from the county that those are produced in and we are within the 10 mile EPZ for Shipingsport Nuclear Power plant. Years ago during one of our preparedness drills the story goes someone hid one of those pieces of ware in their pocket when they went through the screening drill....needless to say the FEMA people weren't as amused as the responders😂
There was also glass produced in the 1930's called Vaseline Glass that when you hit it with an ultraviolet light glows green and it was produced with uranium in it.
Fun fact. Go visit the Adamson House in Malibu, California. Taking the tour of the house, built with floor tile, counter tiles, and decorative wall tiles, all built in the 1930s using uranium glazed by the Rindge family that owned large parts of Malibu in the 1920’s and was wealthy enough to keep the Pacific Coast Highway from being built there until the 1930’s. Supposedly a complete tour is like getting a chest X-Ray. Many old houses in the northern part of Santa Monica, built in the same time period also have the same glazes as the Fiesta Ware plate shown here.
This has incorrect information. They did not use uranium glazed tiles. The tiles utilized chemicals that are not allowed today like Cadmium and Cobalt. Cobalt can be radioactive and the State Park service has gone through the house with a Geiger counter to make sure it is safe.

@@zxcvbnmjfjf thank you! Thirty years ago I was told by a medical student that a tour exposed one to the equivalent of a chest x-ray, and many houses in the more expensive parts of Santa Monica that were built in the thirties had radioactive glazings.

my military family was moving and we had to stay in a temporary base housing known as a TLF and it was like a couple decades old, like i mean the walls had possible lead paint still on them. The REAL scary thing was when my dad used a pocket geiger that he borrowed from a friend he knew on the base and brought it to one of the ancient plates that was in storage at the place. yikes
I used to work for Homer Laughlin China Co. As did many generations of my family. The entire river valley is riddled with Cancer. They would bury their waste around the surrounding areas. Seeing this video explains it perfectly.
Really? There's cheap land there that I now know I shouldn't buy. Very scenic views, though. You are across the river from Calcutta, OH, where WV, Ohio and PA meet, which used to have most of the ceramics factories in the USA. There's an important history there most people don't know about.
@@danmoritz3319 yep. A lot of ceramic history. It is not irregular to be digging in my back yard and find chunks of old ceramic pieces. I moved here 10 years ago. History and Nature are a few of the reasons I stayed. Nature has been ruined over the years though. From the waste incinerator, to the constant pollution in the river, to the derailment. There's really nothing left to enjoy. At one time you could confidently drink from springs. Not so anymore. The number of childhood cancer cases is really concerning given the population size. Industry has taken all it could from the valley. Leaving the valley and its people sick .
Googled “uranium red dye in dishes” adding uranium oxide in the glaze-measurements have indicated that by weight, up to 14% of the glaze might be uranium. How much glaze was employed per plate is unclear but it has been estimated that a single plate contains 4.5 grams of uranium (Buckley et al).
Strangely enough I just watched another short explaining this exact thing earlier today...lol. it's the paint on the plate. Fiesta ware ceramic plates (and I assume cups, saucers, Etc) had that bright orange color that was made with actual uranium.
My boss bought a set of old Fiestaware plates for his ex-wife. He also purchased a set of lead crystal glasses and a set of Teflon coated cookware. What a nice guy.
@@joesphene4733yes he did, if he would have left the plate there it would have effected the background radiation measurements and could have effected the measurements of the other items due to the plates strong radioactivity. This is shown and proven as he hold the GM tube quite far from the plate and it begins clicking.
As someone who has used a geiger counter very often, i knew that plate was about to pop off. I was also surprised to learn that salt water can make iron radioactive
In this case the plate isnt gonna hurt you unless you eat it or sleep with it every night. You probably get that much radiation in your system a week from regular household things.

@@ThoorstenDoernbach You won't see anything stick. The particles are going though your skin and every cell hit can get permanently damaged.
@gioxenit you are talking about the radiation itself. I was referring to the radioactive matter.
The ore really isn't so bad so long as you wash your hands afterwards, its only really dangerous if you eat it because its like eating lead
@@gioxenit Relatively mildly radioactive objects like that are not dangerous during a short exposure. It is dangerous to constantly carry such an object with you, however.
This is why radioactive dust is the most dangerous thing in contaminated areas. It settles on the skin, clothes, hair, and worst of all - in the lungs. There is no way to wash it from there.
So if the plate was covered with in a layer of radioactive dust, touching it would be a super bad idea.
But since the plate is clean, damage caused to cells during short-term exposure will not be a problem.

Couple things to point out from someone in the nuclear industry. One, your meter only reads to 100 microsieverts per hour or 10 mR per hour. So each beep indicates it’s reading above scale, however if it was as high as 200 then the beep would be continuous not intermittent, so it’s reading somewhere in the ballpark of 10 mR or a little more on contact given the beep ever so often. Two, you’d have to hold that plate directly against your abdomen for about 7 hours to get the dose of a mammogram or abdomen X-ray. It would take nearly 21 days straight non stop bracing this against your chest to pick up the yearly allotted dose limit set for the safety of all radworkers. So I’m not saying it’s great, but distance is a principle of radwork, and at about a foot away it was only reading about 3 mR, and would take nearly 1700 hours to get to your dose limit. Also, if any of you have ever had a full body CT scan, you’ve effectively held that plate about a foot from your chest for about 334 hours. Again, not saying this is good or that we should all go buy these plates and snuggle with them, but it’s not as dramatic as this demonstration makes it out to seem.

Fun fact, its the paint. This company used uranium oxide in their red and orange paint. They used it between 1936 to 1972.
Not from 1943-59, as the uranium was in use in the development of the atomic bomb. Also, natural uranium was used from 36-43, and depleted uranium was used from 59-72, making the newer ones less radioactive.
every company with red plates in the 1930s used it.
So a Fender Stratocaster (electric guitar) from 1960 in Fiesta Red should be radioactive aswell? :o
Pure evil company, radioactivity was known at that time. So many people they've given cancer to over the years yet unpunished for it
@@xArsVivendiThe plate has glaze that is fired in a kiln to melt the glaze onto the plate. It would be chemically different from paint used on a guitar. That being said, it might be worth checking the guitar, just in case.
Popular in the 1930s through 1960s, Fiestaware, Homer Laughlin and a couple other manufacturers produced ceramic plates, cups and other dinnerware items were available with a bright red-orange glaze. The way they obtained this unique color was to add Uranium compounds to the ceramic glaze mix. It succeeded in producing a new and attractive color, but the dinnerware was quite radioactive. Although there is no immediate harm to using the dinnerware for eating & drinking, it was surmised that over extended periods of time, with sufficiently acid foods and liquids, some of the Uranium compounds could possibly leach out into the food.

Well now I understand why some plates say "not for food use" on them.
These were made for eating from though.
Umm so it's not recommended to eat tomato basic dishes on these dishes coz there too acidic, red is the most radioactive I think and a plate that old is probably cracked so it's definitely not safe to eat off. 1930's didn't really care that much about not poisoning you.
Modern stuff is different tho
There can also be a bunch of toxic metals in the glaze

I was reading that Fiesta used that glazing for their "Radioactive Red" until 1972. 😂
I was gonna ask... Thank you.
Fun fact. Go visit the Adamson House in Malibu, California. Taking the tour of the house, built with floor tile, counter tiles, and decorative wall tiles, all built in the 1930s using uranium glazed by the Rindge family that owned large parts of Malibu in the 1920’s and was wealthy enough to keep the Pacific Coast Highway from being built there until the 1930’s.
Supposedly a complete tour is like getting a chest X-Ray. Many old houses in the northern part of Santa Monica, built in the same time period also have the same glazes as the Fiesta Ware plate shown here.
This has incorrect information. They did not use uranium glazed tiles. The tiles utilized chemicals that are not allowed today like Cadmium and Cobalt. Cobalt can be radioactive and the State Park service has gone through the house with a Geiger counter to make sure it is safe.
