Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix before melting for coloration. The proportion usually varies from trace levels to about 2% by weight uranium, although some 20th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium.
Uranium glass was once made into tableware and household items, but fell out of widespread use when the availability of uranium to most industries was sharply curtailed during the Cold War in the 1940s to 1990s. Most such objects are now considered antiques or retro-era collectibles, although there has been a minor revival in art glassware. Otherwise, modern uranium glass is now mainly limited to small objects like beads or marbles as scientific or decorative novelties.
Appearance
The normal colour of uranium glass ranges from yellow to green depending on the oxidation state and concentration of the metal ions, although this may be altered by the addition of other elements as glass colorants. Uranium glass also fluoresces bright green under ultraviolet light and can register above background radiation on a sufficiently sensitive Geiger counter, although most pieces of uranium glass are considered to be harmless and only negligibly radioactive.

For this project, I'll be making radioactive uranium glass, which was very popular 100 years ago. Under a blacklight, the uranium in it fluoresces to give off a nice green color.
WARNING: Working with uranium and radioactive material is dangerous, and this video is for entertainment/educational purposes only. Please don't try and repeat what you see. Also, when the project is done, the waste needs to be dealt with and handled properly.

Uranium Glass - What It Is, How To Spot It, and Current Market Value
Uranium glass - every home needs at least one of these bad boys! A quick introduction to uranium glass; what it is, how to spot it, and current market appetite for this type of glass.
I ran a little "experiment'" to see if I could detect any radioactivity emitting from my pieces....aaaaand the Geiger Counter actually detected radiation!
If you are a thrifter then you should get yourself a UV flashlight and do some uranium glass hunting, trust me its worth it ;)

How radioactive is uranium glass?
I made this uranium glass myself and it actually contains uranium. What's cool about it is that it fluoresces under a black light, and it lets off a really nice green color. Because it contains uranium, it's radioactive, and this can be detected using a Geiger counter.

Checking the uranium glass cabinet for radioactivity
Using a Lionel CDV-700 Geiger Counter to check the china cabinet for radioactivity
Uranium glass is radioactive, however the radioactive levels are so low that even with a whole cabinet full of it there isn't enough there to be anywhere near dangerous. If I recall, a single airplane flight at normal cruising altitudes exposes you to more radiation than what this kind of collection emits.
