Yes, but more radiologically than chemically (although it is toxic both ways). Uranium in the glaze can transfer to food and when eaten deposit in the body and provide a large localized dose of alpha radiation, which is very effective at inducing cancers. Use of uranium based glazes on ceramics intended for food use has been banned since the 1950s in the US. However one may find it on some illegally imported foreign products.
Pottery glazes are typically composed of various chemical compounds, such as silica, alumina, fluxes (e.g. feldspar or boron), colorants (e.g. oxides or stains), and modifiers (e.g. clay or talc). The specific composition of a glaze depends on the desired effect and firing temperature, as different compounds contribute to qualities like color, texture, and durability.

Most transition metals form coloured compounds so they can be used in pottery glazes of various colours. E.g weathered copper which is green hope it helps
She baked several coffee cakes with different glazes on top.Please shovel the driveway before it glazes over with ice.
Chromic acid is used in ceramic glazes and colored glass and it can also be mixed with sulfuric acid and used as an oxidizing agent to clean glassware in labs.
Most glazes contain toxic materials before they are fired. That is why it is best to use a mask when spraying and to not eat around liquid glazes. Once the glazes are fired however, they are no longer dangerous with the exception of glazes that contain lead frit. These are usually labelled "not for use with food".
