If anything is scraped or chipped by the metal utensils you could potentially ingest flakes of glass. Even that isn't too bad because it's a very minimal amount of uranium. I'd be more worried about damaging the items because some of those are rare and valuable.
Only dangerous use of uranium glass would be in a piece of jewelry pressed against your skin, but even that would take many years before any slight increased chance of cancer.
Storing radioactive waste by mixing it into glass is nearly traditional for good reason.
