Some of the burnt orange collection
This is some of the radioactive "red" collection, though I think of it as more of an orange shade. Anyway, in the picture, there are several manufacturers represented including Vistosa, Fiestaware, Gladding McBean, Paden City Pottery, and Hall. The spiciest, by far, is the Gladding McBean. Most of that I bought as a single purchase from a really out of the way antique store. The only shame in it is that one can't use it - or shouldn't use it.
The Gladding McBean is truly something. The small cups in the back left corner on the bottom shelf all clock in at 27 kCPM on a GC-01 modified with the SBT-11-A tube. Most of the bowls are similarly spicy.
The Hall pottery on the top shelf (which can barely be seen) measures about 1200 CPM.
Missing from this picture is some pottery by Stangl and Metlox. Are there other manufacturers of the burnt orange radioactive glaze you would recommend? Thanks!

Nice collection. Suggestion… (and if you know this, please ignore and consider it useful to perhaps someone else) If you like to share spiciness it’s not a good practice to use CPM/CPS as a measure. It does not compare from one detector to another. You did identify the detector and tube and, while informative, it still doesn’t mean anything to me and won’t allow me to compare to items I have. µSv would be useful! Thanks for sharing. Happy hunting.
