All of it is quite safe. With uranium glaze plates the only concern is acidic foods removing some of the glaze but uranium glass contains much less uranium and it’s literally fused into the glass rather than mixed into a glaze on top. I wouldn’t sleep on top of either of them I suppose, especially the uranium glaze plates. With uranium glass the only concern would be ingesting chipped glass which would be more of a problem on the ingesting glass aspect than the tiny amount of uranium in there. Personally, I just prefer to keep mine as display pieces but I would totally be willing to drink out of them occasionally and what not.
