I found a little uranium glass icecream dish at a used hardware store. Best $1 spend ever.

They are surprisingly safe to eat from. As long as you are not ingesting pieces of the glass itself, you are perfectly fine.

I just have some seashells in it. It's too small to really be worth eating out of. Was probably part of a bigger set
