**Uranium or vaseline glass was often distributed free or at selling a low cost in the United States and Canada, handed out at stores, gas stations and cinemas. Uranium was commonly used as a colouring agent for these products but it fell out of production in the United States during World War II when uranium was needed elsewhere. The actual radiation amounts in the dishes are similar to a cell phone or smoke detector.**
