Radioactive!

I don't think I've ever mentioned here that I enjoy scouring charity shops, carboots and antique fairs for antique glasses: I have quite a large collection, including rummers, firing glasses, penny licks and illusion glasses! Most unusual, however, are the uranium glasses. These fluoresce incredibly brightly under UV light: needless to say, they produce such low levels of alpha, beta and gamma radiation that they pose no health threats!
