I would not be surprised that what we have here is some ceramic ware that has blue glaze.
Using cobalt was an old school method of making blue glaze before we knew better.
(at least, that’s what my increasingly leaky brain seems to recall...someone please correct me if I am wrong)

Now, Hon, be careful because the plate is really hot. No, I'm serious. It's already about 20 degrees hotter than when I left the kitchen.

Fiesta Ware.
Yeah, probably a blue pigment. Then again, the article says nothing about the intensity of the field. Cargo screening instruments are generally set to alarm at ten microR over background. (0.1 microSv for you SI types). That is pretty small. Wouldn’t want to eat off of it, but I have some pieces around here for training. No biggie.
It could be a lost source that got melted into the product, but I doubt it. That would be screaming high and make headlines.

Never eat anything from China.

China is the most polluted place on Earth.

Are they sure it wasn’t just a blue cobalt glaze on some earthenware?
