 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Wow, and envy!!

Would it be safe to Drink from with an uranium content?  Mind you back when it was made they never knew that, I suppose.  But given just that would that make it more *rarer* ??

Good Score !!  :hiclp: :thup:

Yes it's safe to drink/eat from your uranium tableware, otherwise my fruit bowl wouldn't be uranium. Czech rather than Bohemian, as it would appear to be well post 1918.
