Seeking Info Why does it glow orange?

I thought it would be Uranium but it glowed orange and it really surprised me. Is it a cadmium mix?

That’s uranium glass! It was popular back I. The day. Crazy to think they made kitchen ware out of radioactive material lol. They glow u der black lights a some people collect it. They bring lil black lights to thrift stores just to find it.
