UPDATE: I went back to the antique shop today and picked up a couple of the fiesta pieces. I inherited my grandma's collection; so now I like to either fill in the gaps of what she's missing or add unique pieces & colors to it.

I snagged this chartreuse teacup & saucer and this shallow yellow bowl.

But, the thing I'm most excited about is this:

It is such a pretty orange, and short of taking a Geiger counter to it, I'm 95% sure it's vintage enough to have the uranium glaze!

*The turquoise Fiestaware teacup used in this ANZ commercial is slightly different from the one used in the Mentalist, as it has a vintage (1936-1969) ring handle, whereas Jane’s regular teacup has the C-handle more common in the Post 1986 Fiestaware. 💙☕️

Found some extremely spicy Fiestaware at the thrift store. It hit 9000 CPM and was accelerating when I gave up. Normal background radiation is between 18 and 23 CPM.

Also, WE didn't find it. A couple of teen boys were walking past us and I overheard one say, "man I wish I had a geiger counter."

I stopped them, held up my geiger counter and said, "a geiger counter you say?"

They just about fell over. We ran to the table with the suspected radioactive dishes and sure enough, the geiger counter proved them right. Good eye for the radioactives, kid.

They ended up buying a few pieces and we notified the thrift store employees to put it away so nobody would accidentally buy the pretty red plates for daily use.

Meanwhile the grandmom is watching nervously, asking "is that really radiation? is it safe? how do I explain this to my daughter??"
