Vaseline Uranium
fiesta ware?
i recently went to an antique shop and they had vaseline fiesta ware. i have never heard of it and the owner said it had uranium in it. can anyone tell me why they used uranium or anything about it or any websites on these pieces?
Vaseline is usually used to describe glass not ceramic.
Compounds of uranium tend to be yellow. Some yellow pigment used in old ceramics comes from compounds of uranium.
Always check 30s, 40s, 50s, yellow ceramic with a geiger counter. Some of it is still radioactive.
-- Edit --
I found a website with some radiation readings on Fiesta Ware.

Vaseline $84.44 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly based products owned by AngloDutch company Unilever. Products include plain petroleum jelly and a selection of skin creams, lotions, cleansers, deodorants and personal lubricants. Vaseline also has body lotion and Vaseline Intensive Care. It has been considered generic in some countries like Chile and Brazil in regards to goods from class 3, where the Unilever products are called Vasenol. The first known reference to the name Vaseline was by the inventor of petroleum jelly, Robert Chesebrough in his U.S. patent for the process of making petroleum jelly (U.S. Patent 127,568) in 1872. I, Robert Chesebrough, have invented a new and useful product from petroleum which I have named Vaseline.... The word is believed to come from German Wasser (water) + Greek olion] (oil) + scientificsounded ending ine.
