“The government needed the Uranium that was used to make the red glaze during World War Two, so red was given up for the war effort, until March of 1959, when you could once again purchase uranium oxide in the hills of West Virginia.”

Were actual dishes and cups ever made from this?
Was RED Fiestaware ever actually radioactive???
