I have this piece that was given to my husband's father (Stan) by Beatrice Wood, who was Stan's aunt. My husband and I left some fruit in the bowl that became moldy and the mold is now on the pottery. I would like to clean the bowl but am afraid of damaging it and am hoping someone can tell me how to clean it. It does not have a glossy finish. Please see the pictures I have attached. I would like to sell it, however, I should clean it first and I have no idea of the worth. There is a crack in it that appears to have been there when it was baked and was there when the piece was given to Stan. The piece measures 11 ½” in diameter and the bowl is 3 ½” deep; the foot is 7” wide at the bottom and 4” tall. Total is 7 1/2" tall.
