URANIUM GLASS:

Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium added to a glass mix before melting for colouration. The proportion usually varies from trace levels to about 2% by weight uranium, although some 20th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium.

Uranium glass was once made into tableware and household items, but fell out of widespread use when the availability of uranium to most industries was sharply curtailed during the Cold War in the 1940s to 1990s. Most such objects are now considered antiques or retro-era collectibles. Otherwise, modern uranium glass is now mainly limited to small objects like beads or marbles as scientific or decorative novelties. Uranium glass also fluoresces bright green under ultraviolet light and can register radiation on a Geiger counter, most pieces of uranium glass are considered to be harmless and only negligibly radioactive.
