Ash stuck to brass

(-----) 2006

I have bought an old Art Nouveau brass jardiniere, which polished up beautifully on the outside, but someone had been using it as a dump for the ashes from their fire. The ashes have set, almost like concrete. Please can anyone tell me what (short of steel wool!) will remove the ashes?

With thanks,

I think this would be child's play for a power washer, Doc. Good luck.
