Perdón, pero tratándose de una jarra el significado cambia. En lugar de "canilla", es correcto indicar que se trata del "pico vertedor".

puede ocasionar que el plomo se desprenda del pico


Explanation:
esto se refiere a que con el paso del líquido sobre el pico, pequeñas particulas de plomo se desprendan del pico, como cuando un rio erosiona roca.

la traducción literal si es lixiviar, pero no creo que sea muy entendible de esa forma.

saludos!
