These Toby jugs are certified reproductions of an 18th Century original; produced by Hanle Pewter for the gift shops in Colonial Williamsburg. Adolph Hanle was a first-generation German immigrant. He trained as a pewter spinner in Stuttgart, and brought his trade to New York City, founding Distinctive American Pewter in the 1930s, and eventually opening a showroom on Fifth Avenue. The business still exists in New York City, as Rooster Studios, under his granddaughter, the artist Jennifer Hasan.
The toby jug has an original polished pewter finish. The hinged lid still fits snugly, and a couple of little dings simply add to the charm. It is supposed to be a whiskey measure, holding one cup of liquid, but would also serve as a creamer or syrup jug.

I have tested this for lead and found none.
