Hi -

In an effort to fill out utensils for my period kitchen, I've been
purchasing some vintage items. I picked up a 1 pint, round-bellied jug off
e-bay and am wondering how to clean it. The mouth is narrow enough that you
can't really *see* into it, let alone get a dishcoth in there for a good
scrubbing. Any ideas?

Another item is a pewter porriger, just the right size for my toddler. There
are of course no identifying marks on it. I vaguely recall that there is
some kind of chemical test strip that can tell you if there's lead in a
thing - am I on the right track or merely dreaming? Any idea as to the
source for such a thing?
