I have several questions about this boat: 1) The bottomstamp is very hard to make out, that is the clearest it'll get under a magnifying glass. Could it be Stanford Sebring? 2) It would help me a LOT if I knew the name of this painting technique, where there is squiggly paint that you can feel the texture of over glazed ceramic. There must be a name for that I would think but I can't find out what, I'm hoping someone will know! 3) That white staining on the inside, I don't know what it is but when I used a wet soapy cloth it looked like it went away, and then when it dried it came back. I wish I could get it off but I'm afraid of risking the finish...any advice? There are also some smaller brown stains on the inside. 4) What is this for and what the style is called...a boat vase?
This piece is funny because it photographs so different from how it really looks...the black squiggly paint stands out with much more contrast, but when I photograph it it's like the black lines almost disappear.
It's 13 1/4" long, 4" front to back, 3" deep at center.
