I took a couple (two) of bites of hot soup warmed in an old ceramic bowl that was possibly coated in a lead glaze. should i worry about brain damage?

No worries: Lead is naturally occurring on earth. Outside of our bodies, lead is not a problem. If we eat or drink TOO MUCH of it, it becomes a toxic contaminant inside our bodies. Lead is everywhere in our industrialized world, which means one shouldn't worry too much about it, but be sure our families are not eating or drinking things containing lead, nor using lead-contaminated containers or toys.

Doubt it: If you have concerns I would not do so again but a single exposure is unlikely to do it. Your doc could have a blood lead level done that would detect any recent exposure(s).
