Fiestaware Radioactive Red Plate

Hi folks!

For those who don’t know, Fiestaware produced several glazes through history that contained noteworthy amounts of uranium oxide, and are measurably radioactive, at a low level.

I got one such piece today at a thrift store, and would like to determine whether I can fly home with it or if I need to mail it home.

Unfortunately, im having trouble determining whether it’s counted as an excepted quantity/article for the purposes of hazardous material classification, and figured I’d just ask to see if any other passengers or TSA agents have firsthand experience with fiestaware or uranium glass.

Photos of plate + Geiger reading attached.

Thanks for any info you’ve got!
